Category:Geographic Features: Mountains and Mountain Ranges

From West Virginia (WV) Cyclopedia

If all mountains in West Virginia were flattened, some say the Mountain State would be as large as Texas. Without question, most of the Mountain State is mountainous, with the exception of a few broad river valleys. Unlike other states, West Virginia is locked entirely within the Appalachian Mountains. Though many of its lesser mountains might be termed "hills," the fact is: there is more mountain land in West Virginia than in any other state per square mile.

Mountain Ranges in West Virginia

West Virginia's boundaries encompass four provinces of the Appalachian Mountain System, from west to east -- the Allegheny Plateau, the Allegheny Mountains, the Valley & Ridge Province, and the Blue Ridge.
