Little Walker Mountain, a wildland in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests of western Virginia, has been recognized by the Wilderness Society as a special place worthy of protection from logging and road construction.

[2] In 2011, trails into the area included:[3] The boundary of the wildland as determined by the Wilderness Society is shown in the adjacent map.

The Appalachian Mountains were extensively timbered in the early twentieth century leaving logging roads that are becoming overgrown but still passable.

[4] Old logging roads and railroad grades can be located by consulting the historical topographic maps available from the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

The Little Walker Mountain wild area is covered by USGS topographic maps Pulaski and Long Spur.

The area includes four mountains, Little Walker, Tract, Piney, and Chestnut, and the headwaters of many streams including Little Walker Creek, Panther Lick Hollow, Laurel Hollow, Tract Fork, Pondlick Branch, Eddys Branch and Peak Creek.

The rule provided some degree of protection by reducing the negative environmental impact of road construction and thus promoting the conservation of roadless areas.

[1] Little Walker Mountain was inventoried in the roadless area review, and therefore protected from possible road construction and timber sales.
