Map F. Great North Mountain-North Half (VA/WV)
(6th edition, 2004) This map covers the area of George Washington National Forest along the VA/WV state line from Capon Springs and Wardensville (in WV) southward to Bryce Ski Resort and Orkney Springs (in VA). It highlights Sections 16, 17, 18, 19 (31.1 miles) of the Tuscarora Trail as described in the Tuscarora Trail Guide (south Half). Printed on water-resistant, tear-resistance synthetic stock in 6 colors. Scale 1:62,400. Contour interval 100 feet. The grid projection is the UTM system with lines plotted 5 kilometers apart. The UTM grid permits easy plotting or extraction of coordinates by those persons using GPS devices. It provides an enlargement of the Trout Pond Recreation Area.
Notes on this Edition: Did you think the 1995 edition was significant revision? It may have been, however, this 2001 edition is a "must have" hiking resource! The ground coverage was extended 6 miles (southwestward) to pick up the natural termination of various trails which previously "ran off the map." Several miles of new trails are available in the Halfmoon Mountain area. It shows the new (2000) northern trailhead for Long Mountain Trail. Those persons interested in 3- or 4-day backpacking circuit hikes have many opportunities to explore. Altogether about 240 changes were made to trail, road and hike-related features --- thanks to the dedicated effort of PATC volunteer Wil Kohlbrenner who knows this region like the back of his hand.
