Little Laurel Branch, 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. The Wilderness Society has designated the area as a "Mountain Treasure".[1]

A strikingly scenic place, Little Laurel Branch is an unusual find in the Cumberland Mountains. It contains part of a water gap, the Breaks of Pine Mountain, with multi-level cliffs and vertical wooded slopes.[1]

This wildland is part of the Clinch Ranger District Cluster.
