2014 Map of Fort Spring

About this map

The Greenbrier River carves a winding path through this portion of the Allegheny Mountains, marking the border between Greenbrier Co and Monroe Co. The landscape is defined by its subterranean and hydraulic engineering, featuring a series of railroad passages including the Fort Spring Tunnel, Second Creek Tunnel, and Manns Tunnel that pierce the limestone ridges. Along the river and its tributaries, early industrial sites remain notable, such as Hokes Mill and the Hokes Mill Covered Bridge spanning Second Cr. The topography transitions from the heights of Muddy Creek Mtn and Swoopes Knobs down to the karst features of Sinks Grove, where natural springs like John Kirby Spring and Rockland Spring emerge. Scattered settlements such as Fort Spring, Wolfcreek, and Pickaway anchor the rural crossroads of this Appalachian corridor.
