1946 Map of Block

About this map

The Cumberland Plateau landscape of Campbell and Scott counties reveals an intensive industrial imprint in the years following World War II. The Southern railroad line follows the narrow corridor of Cove Creek, serving coal-loading points like Block and Turley. This rugged terrain is defined by steep ridges such as Gray Mountain and Adkins Mountain, where numerous steep Incline tracks are marked, suggesting the gravity-defying transportation once required for timber or coal extraction from high-elevation mines.
