About this map

Green Sulphur Springs serves as a central hub in this Appalachian landscape, where the local economy and social life are anchored by several remote post offices. The map documents the rural infrastructure of Fayette County, highlighting essential community touchpoints like the Lockbridge Post Office, Elton Post Office, and the Green Sulphur Springs Post Office. These locations, often the only named landmarks in the deep mountain hollows, indicate the dispersed settlement patterns characteristic of the region.

The terrain is defined by a series of significant ridges and summits, including Sewell Mountain, Patterson Mountain, and Wallowhole Mountain. Navigating this topography is a network of winding roads like Patterson Mountain Rd and Hump Mtn Rd, which follow the natural contours between watercourses such as Meadow Creek and Lick Creek. This 2011 survey captures the area's transition between the established town of Meadow Bridge and the surrounding high-elevation peaks like Beelick Knob and Sassafras Knob.
