2023 Map of Burning Springs

About this map

The Little Kanawha River winds deeply through the borderlands of Wirt, Calhoun, and Roane counties, anchoring a landscape where small settlements like Burning Springs and Creston follow the river's path. This modern survey illustrates the rugged topography of the West Virginia hills, defined by prominent elevations such as Ball Knob and Salk Hill Ridge. The map is particularly dense with small family and community burial grounds, including Rector Cem, Beatty Cem, and McCrae Cem, which speak to the long-standing genealogical roots of this rural area. Local infrastructure is marked by a network of winding county routes and secondary roads like Burning Springs Rd and Sonoma Rd, connecting scattered locales such as Grace and Sanoma to the larger river valleys.
