2014 Map of Shady Spring

About this map

Shady Spring and the neighboring residential developments of Glade Springs characterize this portion of Raleigh County during the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by the transition from established settlements like White Oak and Cool Ridge to modern recreational expansions, most notably the several golf courses at The Resort at Glade Springs. Water management is a central theme, with the Beckly Water Supply Number One Lake and Little Beaver Lake providing critical infrastructure and leisure space for the community. In the southern portion of the map, the terrain descends toward the Little Bluestone River, where the settlement of Streeter sits near the county line. This map documents a period of significant suburban and resort-style growth, while maintaining the traditional Appalachian character through features like Joes Ridge and Shady Spring Mtn.
