About this map

Asbury sits at the center of this rural Greenbrier County landscape, serving as a focal point for the surrounding hollows and ridges. The 2019 survey documents a region defined by its springs and historical milling sites, including Piercys Mill on the northern reaches and Blaker Mills to the southwest. The terrain is notably etched by numerous named springs such as Piercy Spring, Harvey Spring, and Morlunda Farms Spring, which feed the local drainages like Muddy Cr and Milligan Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of the Asbury Methodist Church and its associated Asbury Methodist Church Cem, alongside other burial grounds like Harrah Cem and Hanger Cem. The southern edge of the map is bounded by the winding course of the Greenbrier River, while the northern section is traversed by the high-elevation passage of Alta. The prominence of Muddy Creek Mtn provides a dominant topographic landmark amidst a network of country roads like Blue Sulphur-Asbury Rd.
