1967 Map of Webster Springs SW

About this map

Monongahela National Forest dominates this highland region where the Williams River and Cranberry River carve through high ridges. In the late 1960s, this area of Webster and Nicholas counties remained largely undeveloped, characterized by a network of trails and primitive roads accessing prominent summits like Red Oak Knob, which features lookout towers, and Bishop Knob. The mapping captures the intersection of three counties, including a portion of Greenbrier Co at the southern edge near Richwood. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of the Mills Mtn Ch and a small Cem on Mills Mtn. The landscape is dotted with early forest service infrastructure, including the Cranberry Campground and remote outposts like the Pleasant Hollow Camping Shelter and Dogway Camping Shelter along the river forks.
