About this map

Smoky Creek and the New River converge in the southwest corner of this Campbell and Scott County landscape, defining a region where industrial extraction and conservation lands meet. By the mid-20th century, the terrain was heavily shaped by extensive Strip Mines and Strip Mine operations scattered across Adkins Mountain and Tennessee Mountain. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valleys, with small communities like Turley, Montgomery, and Brookside serving as focal points for local life. Significant portions of the eastern and central sections are designated as the Koppers Brushy Mountain Wildlife Management Area, indicating a shift toward managed natural spaces amidst the legacy of mining. Genealogists will find the Antioch Church and Round Rock Cemetery useful for identifying family sites near Smoky Junction and the surrounding gaps.
