1957 Map of Big Stone Gap
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Stone Mountain and Powell Mountain dominate the geography of this Appalachian quadrangle, where the Powell River carves a path through the ridge-and-valley terrain. The industrial and cultural history of the region is evident in the rail networks of the Southern Railway and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad that connect coal-country settlements like Exeter and Irondale. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community, marked by an exceptional density of family-named burial grounds including Reasor Cem, Collier Cem, and Arbuckle Hill Cem.
