Big Stone Gap sits at the confluence of the South Fork Powell River and Pigeon Cr, serving as a central hub for this portion of Wise County. The landscape is defined by the heavy presence of coal-country heritage, reflected in numerous family cemeteries like Robinette Cem, Wampler Cem, and Bishop Cem that dot the valleys of Lovelady Valley and Williams Cove. The map documents the modern footprint of Mountain Empire Community College alongside older landmarks like Seminary Church. Beyond the residential centers of Jasper, Olinger, and Exeter, the terrain rises into the Jefferson National Forest, where the Stone Mountain Trl and Wallen Ridge Trl follow the high ridges. This survey provides a clear view of the relationship between the river-bottom settlements and the surrounding mountain passes such as Turkey Cove Gap.
