  • Monongahela National Forest
    Monongahela National Forest Administrative Correction 15 August 12, 2010 Changes to Management Prescription 8.2 Areas Due to New Information Under the 2000 Planning Rule (36 CFR 219.31), the following administrative corrections and additions may be made at any time, are not plan amendments or revisions, and do not require public notice or the preparation of an environmental document under Forest Service NEPA procedures: (1) Corrections and updates of data and maps; (2) Updates to activity lists and schedules as required by § 219.30(d)(1)-(6); (3) Corrections of typographical errors or other non-substantive changes; and (4) Changes in monitoring methods other than those required in a monitoring strategy. The following corrections are a result of new information from the USDI National Park Service about National Natural Landmarks (NNLs) on the Monongahela National Forest (MNF). During a recent visit to inspect NNLs on the MNF, Carolyn Davis of the NPS compared her list of NNLs on the Forest to the Forest Ecologist’s list, and two discrepancies were found. First, the Falls of Hills Creek area was not on the NPS list as an NNL. Second, the Germany Valley Karst Area was on the NPS list but not on the MNF list of NNLs. Therefore, the following administrative corrections are being made to NNLs, which are identified as Management Prescription 8.2 in the MNF Forest Plan. All acreage figures have been rounded off to the nearest 10 acres. CORRECTIONS Forest Plan Chapter III, page III-40 (originally page III-46) MP 8.0 Special Area Table, seventh

  • Backpacking: Bird Knob
    1 © 1999 Troy R. Hayes. All rights reserved. Preface As a new Scoutmaster, I wanted to take my troop on different kinds of adventure. But each trip took a tremendous amount of preparation to discover what the possibilities were, to investigate them, to pick one, and finally make the detailed arrangements. In some cases I even made a reconnaissance trip in advance in order to make sure the trip worked. The Pathfinder is an attempt to make this process easier. A vigorous outdoor program is a key element in Boy Scouting. The trips described in these pages range from those achievable by eleven year olds to those intended for fourteen and up (high adventure). And remember what the Irish say: The weather determines not whether you go, but what clothing you should wear. My Scouts have camped in ice, snow, rain, and heat. The most memorable trips were the ones with "bad" weather. That's when character building best occurs.

    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR MISCELLANEOUS FIELD STUDIES UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MAP MF-1271-E PAMPHLET MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF THE CHEAT MOUNTAIN ROADLESS AREA, RANDOLPH COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA By Kenneth J. Englund and Wayne R. Sigleo, U.S. Geological Survey and Paul T. Behum and Richard W. Hammack, U.S. Bureau of Mines 1983 Studies Related To Wilderness Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and related acts, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System, and some of them are presently being studied. The act provided that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. The act directs that the results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of the Cheat Mountain Roadless Area, Monongahela National Forest, Randolph County, West Virginia. The area was classified as a further planning area during the Second Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE n) by the U.S. Forest Service, January 1979. MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL SUMMARY STATEMENT The Cheat Mountain Roadless Area contains approximately 7,720 acres in the Monongahela National Forest, Randolph County, W. Va. All the surface rights are owned by the U.S.

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.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Cheat Mountain Salamander Recovery Plan Current Species Status: The Cheat Mountain salamander is currently known to exist at 68 sites within an approximately 700 square-mile area in West Virginia. Most of these populations are small, with less than ten salamanders observed. Although historical levels are not known, it is likely that the current population represents oniy a small portion of the species’ former distribution and population levels.

  • The West Virginia Scenic Trails Association's First 40
    “A PATH IN THE WOODS”: THE WEST VIRGINIA SCENIC TRAILS ASSOCIATION’S FIRST 40 YEARS Research and recollections by Doug Wood, December 2020. Without the assistance of Bob Tabor, Nick Lozano, Charlie Dundas, Carolyn Welcker, Shirley Schweizer, Bruce Bond, and Arthur Foley, this compilation of memories would be sparse and suspect. Watch for updated versions in the future. In 1958, members of Explorer Scout Post 4, sponsored by Kanawha Presbyterian Church in Charleston, West Virginia was backpacking on the Appalachian Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains. The Post Advisor, Doug McGrew was an inspiring leader of young men. McGrew was a Union Carbide chemical engineer. One Explorer Scout in particular, remembers the positive influence McGrew had on his charges. Nicolas (correct spelling) B. Lozano, who was 15 years old at the time and is now a retired insurance executive, refers to his former Post Advisor as “the Grandfather of the Allegheny Trail.” According to Lozano, McGrew’s leadership inspired his Scouts and led them into life-changing outdoor experiences, such as that backpack trip in 1958. Nick remembers thinking upon his return home to West Virginia after that trip, “Why should we West Virginia scouts have to travel to other states to experience the adventure of long-distance backpacking? We have the Allegheny Mountains with all their natural splendor and wildness to rival the Great Smoky Mountains. Why can’t we have a trail like the Appalachian Trail running through the mountains of The Mountain State?” So, Doug McGrew is the “Grandfather” of the Allegheny Trail, because Nick Lozano is one of the “Founding Fathers” of the Allegheny Trail.

  • The Breeding Warblers of the Central Allegheny Mountain Region
    December, 1940 THE WILSON BULLETIN 249 Vol. 52. No. 4 THE BREEDING WARBLERS OF THE CENTRAL ALLEGHENY MOUNTAIN REGION BY MAURICE BROOKS OUNTAIN masses, and the interpretation of their plant and M animal life, present a standing challenge to the biologist. The Appalachian mountain system, being of moderate elevation and located in mid-latitude regions, does not exhibit the striking con- trasts to be found in high altitude mountains of more southern regions, where a climb of a few miles may take the observer from the tropical to the arctic-alpine; nevertheless our eastern ranges have been a haven of refuge for land forms since Palaeozoic times and have their fascinating problems of modern, as well as ancient, natural history. THE AREA The area with which this paper deals is centered roughly between the northern and southern extremities of the Appalachian system, and embraces the mountainous poition of western Maryland, all of West Virginia west of the Shenandoah valley, and portions of Frederick, Shenandoah, Rockingham, Augusta, Highland, Bath, Alleghany,r Craig, Giles, Bland, and Tazewell counties, Virginia. Thus it includes all of the Allegheny ridges between the Great Valley of Virginia and the Ohio River, from the Pennsylvania border on the north to the southern extremity of West Virginia. The “Ridge and Valley province” (of F enneman, 1938) lying directly east of this territory, and the high Blue Ridge peaks of southwestern Virginia are excluded, since it is felt that their biotic conditions differ in a number of essentials from those of the area under consideration. From the ornithological standpoint, the region is remarkably homogeneous,, although the boundaries are somewhat arbitrary.
