Big Stone Gap serves as the focal point of this southwestern Virginia survey, where the South Fork Powell River and the N Fork Powell River converge at the foot of Stone Mountain. The landscape is a complex network of narrow valleys and ridges, including Wallen Ridge and Powell Mtn, largely contained within the Jefferson National Forest. This era of the region’s geography highlights the transition from the concentrated urban streets of the town, home to the Mtn Empire Community Coll, to the dispersed rural settlements of Olinger, Turkey, and Jasper.
