About this map

Lewisburg and the surrounding Greenbrier Valley are depicted here during a period of infrastructure modernization, with the recently completed I-64 cutting across the landscape. This 1:100,000 scale survey captures the region's transition from traditional mineral spring resorts to a modern transportation hub. The map highlights the historic spa culture of the area, including White Sulphur Springs, Blue Sulphur Springs, and Salt Sulphur Springs, alongside established rail towns like Ronceverte.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of small crossroads and named landmarks such as Sam Black Church and Hickory Grove Church, as well as numerous rural cemeteries and schools. The terrain is defined by the winding Greenbrier River and the high ridges of Peters Mountain and Sewell Mountain, which constrained early settlement patterns. Beyond the towns, the vast reaches of the Monongahela National Forest and George Washington National Forest dominate the eastern and northern reaches of the quadrangle.
