Seven Sisters, 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.

State Route 717, part of the Big Walker Mountain Scenic Byway, passes through the area along the east fork of Stony Creek.

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

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

The Seven Sisters wild area is covered by USGS topographic maps Big Bend, Bland and Crockett.

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

52, I-77 and Va 727 are "Scenic Corridor", the slope of Walker Mountain is "Dispersed Recreation – Suitable" with small tracts of "Old Growth with Disturbance".
