Running northeast to southwest through Preston, Tucker, Barbour, and Randolph Counties, the ridge forms portions of the borders between them.

It achieves its highest elevation at the Eliot Benchmark (3,157 ft; 962 m) about 3.5 miles (5.6 km) north of Pleasure Valley.

There is a short break, then north of the Pennsylvania state line, it continues northeast as Laurel Hill.

Skirmishing began on July 7 and lasted for five days (the "Battle of Laurel Hill"), with the Union routing the Confederate troops.

A notable feature of the project is the largest battery installation attached to the power grid in the continental United States.

AES states the batteries will be a shock absorber of sorts, making variations in wind energy production a little less jagged and the farm's output more useful to the grid.
