About this map

The confluence at Three Forks of Williams River anchors this high-elevation wilderness where the borders of Webster, Nicholas, and Greenbrier Counties meet. In the late 1960s, this portion of the Monongahela National Forest remained largely defined by its drainage systems, including the Williams River and Cranberry River. The landscape is punctuated by prominent summits such as Mills Mtn, home to the Mills Mtn Ch and a nearby Cem, indicating small hilltop communities amidst the timber.

Evidence of forestry management and early conservation efforts is clear, from the Red Oak Lookout Towers on the northern ridgeline to the established Cranberry Recreation Area. Recreational use is further documented through backcountry facilities like the Pleasant Hollow Camping Shelter and Dogway Camping Shelter, while the many branching runs and forks—such as White Oak Fork and Baldwin Branch—illustrate the complex hydrology of these Allegheny Highlands.
