Geography

A 2.5-mile (4.0 km) stretch of the ridge, starting 3 miles (4.8 km) south of its northern terminus, serves as the Virginia-West Virginia border.

The mountain is bisected by the Northwestern Turnpike (U.S. Route 50) to the east of Capon Bridge and by the Bloomery Pike (West Virginia Route 127/State Route 127) at Good.
