About this map

Mills Mtn and the nearby Mills Mtn Ch stand at the northwestern edge of this 1995 survey, reflecting the sparse highland settlement of this part of West Virginia. The landscape is dominated by the Monongahela National Forest and the protected Cranberry Wilderness, where complex drainage systems like White Oak Fork and Lick Branch feed into the Williams River. Notable landmarks such as Red Oak Knob feature a Lookout, while Summit Lake serves as a significant water body in the southern reaches.

The map details a region where county lines converge amidst high-elevation peaks, including Briery Knob and Snakeden Mtn. The transition from the rugged drainage of the Cranberry River to the Cherry River headwaters shows a topography managed for conservation, though a Mine near the Williams River and a Cem near the mountain chapel point to the area's older industrial and social roots. Extensive trails like the Adkins Rockhouse Tr provide access through the deep hollows and across the Three Forks of Williams River.
