DEPARTMENT OP THE INTEKIOR, UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, Washington, D. C. , March 9, 190Jh SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith, for publication as a bulletin, a gazetteer of West Virginia! Very respectfully, HENRY GANNETT, Geogwvpher. Hon. CHARLES D. WALCOTT, Director United States Geological Survey. 3 A GAZETTEER OF WEST VIRGINIA. HENRY GANNETT. DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE. The State of West Virginia was cut off from Virginia during the civil war and was admitted to the Union on June 19, 1863. As orig­ inally constituted it consisted of 48 counties; subsequently, in 1866, it was enlarged by the addition -of two counties, Berkeley and Jeffer­ son, which were also detached from Virginia. The boundaries of the State are in the highest degree irregular. Starting at Potomac River at Harpers Ferry,' the line follows the south bank of the Potomac to the Fairfax Stone, which was set to mark the headwaters of the North Branch of Potomac River; from this stone the line runs due north to Mason and Dixon's line, i. e., the southern boundary of Pennsylvania; thence it follows this line west to the southwest corner of that State, in approximate latitude 39° 43i' and longitude 80° 31', and from that corner north along the western boundary of Pennsylvania until the line intersects Ohio River; from this point the boundary runs southwest down the Ohio, on the northwestern bank, to the mouth of Big Sandy River.

    RECOMMENDED HIKES OUTSIDE THE ADIRONDACK HIGH PEAKS Trails in the eastern High Peaks, to the Dix Mountains, and to Giant Mountain are often crowded, ruining the Adirondack wilderness experience. The trails below provide quality hiking and great scenic views, much like the High Peaks, but without the crowds! High and Rugged (All coordinates are in decimal degrees using NAD83/WGS84 datum.) Rocky Peak Ridge:* East Trail in Giant Mountain Wilderness extends 6.7 miles and ascends 3,600 feet from the trailhead on Route 9N to the 4,420-foot summit of Rocky Peak Ridge and its 360 degree view. Much of the trail is along an open rocky ridge with constant views of the mountains, forests and waters to the north, east and southeast. Stop and enjoy the magnificent surrounding scenery at several renowned points along the way, including Blueberry Cobbles, at the 1.9 mile mark; Bald Mountain at the 3.9 mile mark; and the remote and picturesque Marie Louis Pond at the 6.1 mile mark. The summit provides views of the Sentinel Range, Hurricane Mountain, Lake Champlain and the surrounding valley, the Green Mountains of Vermont, Dix Mountains, the Great Range, eastern High Peaks, and nearby Giant Mountain. (Trailhead Coordinates: 44.1499°N, 73.6268°W) Whiteface Mountain:* Whiteface Landing Trail in McKenzie Mountain Wilderness extends more than 6.0 miles and ascends 3,320 feet from the trailhead on State Route 86 to the 4,867-foot summit and its 360 degree views.
