2011 Map of Burning Springs

About this map

Burning Springs Oil Field serves as a prominent landmark in this region, highlighting the industrial legacy of the Wirt County landscape. The Little Kanawha River meanders through the terrain, defining the local geography and providing a corridor for settlements like Creston and Sanoma. Transportation and agricultural life are evident through the presence of the Creston Ferry and Grape Hill Farm, while the rugged hills are dotted with family and community landmarks such as the Rector Cemetery and Mount Solon Cemetery. This area, characterized by its deep hollows like Millstone Hollow and ridges such as Salk Hill Ridge, maintains a traditional rural pattern where small settlements like Beaverdam and Grace are connected by winding country roads and creek beds.
