About this map

Cheat Mountain and Shavers Mountain dominate this mid-1990s survey of the high Allegheny highlands, where the topography is defined by the winding course of Shavers Fork. The map documents a landscape of managed wilderness and resource extraction within the Monongahela National Forest. Near the center, the Enviro Energy Mine No 2 and various access trails like the Yokum Hunter Access Trail indicate the modern economic activity that persists alongside conservation efforts like the Gaudineer Scenic Area.

The small settlement of Wildell sits near the Greenbrier River, providing a rare point of habitation in a region characterized by deep runs and ridges. Local history and outdoor use are evidenced by named landmarks such as the Johns Camp Run Shelter and the Iron Bridge crossing Cove Run. The drainage patterns of Stalnaker Run and Snorting Lick Run illustrate the complex hydrology of the Randolph and Pocahontas county line.
