Chestnut Ridge

Chestnut Ridge forms the lofty common border between Preston County and Monongalia County east of Morgantown, West Virginia. The ridge is part of the longest structural fold in the Appalachian Mountains: though barely perceptible as a ridge for most of its length, the Chestnut Ridge anticline extends northwest from Clay County through Braxton County, Lewis County, Upshur County, Barbour County, Taylor County, and Preston County to Punxsutawny, Pennsylvania. (Many other land features in West Virginia carry the name Chestnut Ridge.)
