About this map

George Washington National Forest blankets this section of the Appalachian Mountains, where the state line between West Virginia and Virginia follows the high ridges. The landscape is defined by long, parallel ridges and deep valleys, most notably the Trout Run Valley which provides a corridor for small settlements like Perry and Rockland. This 2014 survey documents the complex topography of the region, including the massive Great North Mountain and the high-elevation Big Schloss overlook.

Water resources are prominent throughout the terrain, from the Woodstock Reservoir to natural features such as Rockcliff Lake and Trout Pond. Local landmarks like Ayers Airport and the historic community of Columbia Furnace at the southeastern edge of the map highlight the sparse human footprint. Named mountain features like Tibbet Knob and Bollinger Knob serve as critical reference points for hikers and researchers studying this borderland wilderness.
