1972 Map of Asbury

About this map

Blaker Mills and Piercys Mill anchor the rural landscape of western Greenbrier County in this early 1970s survey. The map details a transition between high ridges and valley floors, where the waters of Muddy Creek and Mill Creek defined the placement of early settlements and milling operations. High points like Brushy Ridge and Muddy Mountain divide the districts of Blue Sulphur and Fort Spring, with many small country churches such as Woods Memorial Ch and Janes Chapel serving as community hubs. The presence of the Hern Mill Bridge and several family-named burial sites, including the Harrah Cem near Asbury, provides valuable documentation for genealogists and local historians tracking the agricultural and social development of the region before modern land-use changes.
