Big Stone Gap and Appalachia anchor the southern reaches of this mountain landscape, where the Powell River and Roaring Br carve through the high ridges of the Jefferson National Forest. The geography is defined by a dense network of mining and company towns that follow the narrow creek valleys, including Stonega, Roda, and Derby. These settlements are linked by a complex system of mountain roads like Roda Rd and Stonega Rd that navigate the steep terrain between Black Mtn and Stone Mountain.
