About this map

Shavers Fork and the West Fork Greenbrier River dominate this pocket of the Monongahela National Forest, where the landscape is defined by the high-elevation drainage of numerous runs and creeks. The small settlement of Wildell sits along the river near Snorting Lick Run, a name reflecting the local wilderness character, while the community of May is located further south near Mill Run.

Industrial activity and backcountry recreation intersect throughout the terrain. The Enviro Energy Mine appears near the western edge along the winding course of the river, while established shelters like the Wildell Shelter and Johns Camp Run Shelter mark the area's importance to hikers and outdoorsmen. The intricate network of forest roads, such as Pub Rd 44 and Iron Bridge Run Rd, provides access to the steep hollows formed by Gertrude Run and Old Road Run.
