2011 Map of Shady Spring

About this map

Daniels Post Office and Shady Spring Post Office anchor a network of unincorporated communities along the ridge lines of Raleigh County. This upland landscape is defined by its water management systems, notably the Beckley Water Supply Number One Lake and the Glade Creek Reservoir Dam, which serve the growing residential clusters of Glade Springs and White Oak. The topography transitions from the heights of Shady Spring Mountain down to the Little Bluestone River at the southeastern edge, near the community of Streeter. Local recreation and community hubs are well-represented by the Lakeview Golf Course and the Crab Orchard Baptist Camp, illustrating the area's development as both a residential corridor and a highland retreat. A variety of smaller settlements like Cool Ridge and Cherry Creek are interconnected by winding mountain roads such as White Oak Mtn Rd and Fire Trail Rd.
