1929 Map of Big Stone Gap
USGS Topo · Published 1929About this map
Cluttis Post Office and Johnsons Mill Post Office serve as central nodes for the coal-mining and timber communities straddling the Kentucky and Virginia border in the late 1920s. This survey, directed by Thomas L. Watson and Willard Rouse Jillson, captures the industrial infrastructure of the Central Appalachian coalfields. A complex network of railroads, including the L & N RR, Interstate RR, and the Southern Railway, threads through the deep gaps of Black Mountain and Stone Mountain to reach mountain settlements like Appalachia, Keokee, and Lynch.
