Study Area Map

The study area is defined by Public Law 102-525 as follows: "The segment defined by public lands commencing at the U.S. Route 460 Bridge over the New River in [Glen Lyn] Virginia to the maximum summer pool elevation (1410 feet above mean sea level) of Bluestone Lake in [Hinton] West Virginia."

The authorizing legislation limits the Wild and Scenic River study area to the river segment and the adjacent corridor defined by public lands owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers within the Bluestone Project Area.
