2011 Map of Big Stone Gap

About this map

Big Stone Gap sits at the confluence of the South Fork Powell River and the Powell River, a landscape defined by the drainage of Stone Mountain and the gaps that cut through the ridges. The 2011 survey reveals a complex network of family and community cemeteries, such as the Glencoe Cemetery and Gilly Cemetery, which offer valuable data for genealogists tracing regional heritage. The area is marked by distinctive topographical features like Olinger Gap and Wildcat Summit, while water management is evidenced by the Lake Keokee Dam and the crossing at Hugh Williams Memorial Bridge.
