1957 Map of Big Stone Gap
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
The mountain town of Big Stone Gap serves as a focal point where the Powell River meets the industrial infrastructure of the late 1950s. This survey, conducted by the Tennessee Valley Authority and published by the Geological Survey, illustrates a landscape defined by the Southern Railway and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad as they navigate the ridges of the Jefferson National Forest. Notable for its high density of family cemeteries such as Exeter Cem and Reasor Cem, the area reflects deep-rooted Appalachian genealogy within the folds of Stone Mountain and Wallen Ridge.
