This unit — the ground this page is about, drawn as the ownership file records it
Other public land — the state, federal and county ground around it — most of it has a page of its own
USGS gauge — a thermometer standing in this unit's water, coloured by what it is reading right now
Water temperature — the colour of every stream on this ground

50°F and colder is cold, through cold-transitional and cool, to warm above 70°F — the same four bands the app paints. The colour is nothing at all: WV DEP publishes no thermal classification, so every stream on this map draws grey. The gauge dots are the one exception and they read live. Grey is every stream here, for the reason above.

The unit in numbers

Assembled from ownership records, dissolved into one block: the section lines a state forest is surveyed in are not a fact about access, so they are not drawn and not counted twice.

Getting on it

The ownership file carries no access class for this unit. It is public ground; what you may do on it is the managing agency's to say.

Trout streams on this ground

No named stream on our map touches this unit. That is a statement about the map — every NHD reach in the state is on it, but only named water carries a page.

Hunting

This unit is not in the huntable public-land layer this app paints, so this page does not publish seasons for it. That is not the same as "hunting is closed here" — it means the layer the app draws from does not carry this ground, and the managing agency is the one to ask.

No access site on this unit has campground in its name. We have no campground data, so that is the whole of what this page can say about camping here — it is not evidence that there is none.

When to come

The hatch calendar for the Virginia mountains, which is the region this unit's centre falls in — the same regions the app's hatch panel uses. It is a regional record, not a survey of this ground: nobody has counted insects unit by unit. Year-round records (midges, scuds, sculpins) are left out.

Nothing seasonal on the water.

Regulations

Nothing on this page is a regulation. The fishing rules that apply to the water on this ground — the types, the seasons, the size limits and the gear restrictions — are on the West Virginia fishing regulations page, built from the agency's own columns.

Watersheds it lies in

The subbasins this ground drains into. Each one has the whole basin's water on it.
