1952 Map of Block

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The New River and Smoky Creek carve through the high ridges of the Cumberland Plateau along the border of Campbell and Scott Counties. This 1952 field revision reveals a landscape defined by narrow hollows and steep elevations like Turley Mountain and Brushy Mountain. The settlement pattern follows the drainage and rail lines, with small communities such as Smoky Junction, Turley, and Block serving as focal points for the region's coal and timber economies. Numerous mines are noted across the slopes, connected by an intricate system of inclines and mountain roads.
