Shavers Fork Mountain Complex, Protected mountain area in Tucker County, United States.
The Shavers Fork Mountain Complex stretches across three counties, featuring diverse mountain ranges, streams, and abundant wildlife in West Virginia's highlands.
During the Civil War, Cheat Mountain within the complex contained the highest Union Army fortification, demonstrating its strategic military importance.
The Civilian Conservation Corps initiated reforestation projects in the 1930s, marking a shift from industrial logging to environmental preservation.
The complex experiences frost throughout the year, with winter temperatures dropping significantly and heavy snowfall occurring between November and April.
The Gaudineer Scenic Area preserves 50 acres of virgin red spruce forest, saved from logging due to a historical surveying error.
