White Top is a knob and spur of Cheat Mountain in southeastern Randolph County, West Virginia, USA.
While White Top was originally crossed by the Staunton–Parkersburg Turnpike, modern-day U.S. Route 250 skirts the base of the knob beside Shavers Fork to the north and east.
These issues, along with some success in driving Confederate forces from the area led to the abandonment of the fort in April 1862.
All bodies were exhumed from the site after the Civil War ended with many being reinterred at West Virginia National Cemetery in Grafton.
[citation needed] White Top is also known as the first location where the Cheat Mountain Salamander was identified.
