Cheat Mountain
Cheat Mountain is an exceptionally high and rugged ridge situated in the Allegheny Mountains of eastern West Virginia, USA. It is about long (north to south) and more than five miles (8 km) wide at its widest. Its highest point is at its southernmost end at Thorny Flat, which has an elevation of . Several other knobs rise above along its length.
The mountain was once home to the largest red spruce forest south of Maine and a large portion of it now lies within the Monongahela National Forest.
==Geography==
Cheat Mountain traverses the entire length of central Randolph County, West Virginia, from (in the north) a point just west of Parsons to (in the south) a point, about south of the Randolph/Pocahontas County line, near the community of Stony Bottom, where it impinges upon Back Allegheny Mountain. All but the northernmost and the southernmost are within Randolph County. The western flank of Cheat Mountain is skirted by U.S. Route 219 which connects a string of communities in the Tygart River Valley (notably, from north to south, Montrose, Kerens, Elkins, Beverly, Huttonsville and Valley Head). The eastern flank, overlooking the valley of Shavers Fork, is more remote. However, all but the northernmost or so of it is skirted by the Western Maryland Railroad, connecting (from north to south) the communities of Bowden, Bemis and Cheat Bridge. Cheat Mountain is crossed (east/west) by two federal highways: U.S. Route 33 in its northern third and U.S. Route 250 in its southern third.
The Cheat River, a tributary of the Monongahela, is formed at Parsons, just east of the northern tip of Cheat Mountain, by the confluence of Shavers Fork and Black Fork.
