About this map

Olympia Springs and the surrounding hills of Bath County reveal a landscape shaped by mineral springs and early industrial ventures. The northern portion of the map highlights the area's iron-working history through the Slate Blockhouse Furnace and the nearby Blockhouse Iron Mine, while Howard Hill Mine further indicates the region's historic extractive activity. Family history is well-preserved across the quadrangle, with Jackson Cemetery, Shrout Cemetery, and Old Fields Cemetery marking the hillsides above Washers Branch and Rose Run.

The central terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks, including North Knob, Center Knob, and South Knob, which offer a commanding view of the Blevins Valley. Notable landmarks such as the Olympia Lookout Tower and the Black Sulpher Spring provide tangible links to the area's geological and forestry management past. Remote settlements like Upper Salt Lick and Sudith are connected by a network of rural routes, including the Rebel Trace, following the natural contours of the Clark Fork and Slate Creek valleys.
