About this map

Webster Springs and the surrounding river valleys are the focal points of this 2011 survey of Webster County. The Elk River winds through the northern portion of the quadrangle, joined by the Back Fork Elk River near the town center and supporting smaller settlements like Dorrtown and Cherry Falls. Further south, the landscape is defined by the Gauley River and the Williams River, where the community of Dyer and the recreational grounds of Camp Caesar are situated.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial grounds, including Lynch Point Cemetery, Woods Cemetery, and the Dunlap Memorial Garden Cemetery. The terrain is marked by significant rises such as McGuire Mountain and Spillman Mountain, with many small runs like Lynch Run and Miller Mill Run carving deep hollows between the ridges. The transport network reflects the steep geography, with routes like Parcoal Rd and Cherry Falls Rd following the contours of the river banks.
