About this map

Blue Sulphur Springs highlights the eastern portion of this West Virginia study, where the namesake spring is flanked by Hamilton Ridge and Kitchen Creek. The landscape is defined by the significant elevation of Keeney Knob and the Keeney Mountain Lookout Tower in the southwest, surveying a territory where the Greenbrier and Summers county line cuts through high ridges.

Settlement patterns follow the winding path of the Meadow River and smaller tributaries like Buffalo Creek and Griffith Creek. In the north, the community of Dawson sits near the interstate corridor, while smaller locales like Grassy Meadows and Hickory Grove are connected by a network of rural routes including Hickory Grove Lane and Blue Sulphur Road. Genealogists may find interest in the Richardson Cemetery and the Methodist Branch church located near Dougher Knob.
