Abstract

Cranberry Wilderness Study Area comprises 14,702 ha in the Monongahela National Forest, Pocahontas and Webster Counties, east-central West Virginia. The area is in the Yew Mountains of the Appalachian Plateaus and is at the eastern edge of the central Appalachian coal fields. Cranberry Glades, a peatland of botanical interest lies at the southern end of the study area. All surface rights in the area are held by the U. S. Forest Service; nearly 90 percent of the mineral rights are privately-owned or subordinate to the surface rights.
