I have tried to discombobulate some of the article's problems with my edits today.
To the question "Is there a ridge higher than the Eastern Continental Divide?" which another editor asked: Yes, for example Spruce Mountain (including Spruce Knob, highest point in the Alleghenies) is a few miles EAST of the actual AF/ECD. The AF/ECD does not necessarily always coincide with the highest peaks in the area. Spruce Mountain/Spruce Knob is an isolated mountain.
NB: None of the lines or colors on the accompanying "Great Appalachian Valley" graphic represent the AF/ECD. If someone wants to make a better graphic, this, this, this, and this could prove helpful.

Is it possible to get a fuller reading of the book section being cited for the southern end of the Allegheny Front? Saying Back Allegheny Mountain is the southern end means jumping back over the Eastern Continental Divide and that section south of Roaring Plains Wilderness lacks the large high-elevation plateau north of there. Just loooking at a topo view, I'm inclined to agree that Roaring Plains is the southern end of the Allegheny Front. Brian Powell ( talk) 19:04, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
