About this map

Blue Sulphur Springs stands as a focal point in this mountainous region of Greenbrier County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows. The landscape is marked by high elevations like Keeney Mountain and Keeney Knob, the latter featuring the Keeney Knob Fire Tower. Settlements such as Grassy Meadows and Hickory Grove are connected by winding local routes like Smoot Rd and Snake Run Rd, following the natural contours carved by the Meadow River and Muddy Creek.

Genealogical interest is found in the scattered rural burial grounds, including Maude Chapel Cem and Mount Zion Church Cem. The presence of Robert Bennett Spring and the primary Blue Sulphur Spring indicates a landscape shaped by its natural hydrology, providing vital water sources for these upland communities. The map also delineates the boundary between Greenbrier and Summers counties as it traverses the high peaks of Tincher Ridge.
