1952 Map of Block

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Roach Creek Mountain and Hurricane Mountain dominate this mid-century look at the ridge-and-valley landscape of the Cumberland Mountains. The area's industrial character is defined by extensive coal operations, evidenced by numerous Strip Mines and the presence of the Southern railroad line. Small settlements such as Smoky Junction and Block serve as anchor points for the local population, while smaller locales like Peewee and Brookside follow the winding path of the New River. The map reveals a community deeply tied to both the land's resources and its steep topography, with landmarks like Antioch Church and the Round Rock Cemetery providing essential reference points for genealogical research. Large portions of the terrain are dedicated to conservation and recreation within the Koppers Brushy Mountain Wildlife Management Area, showing the scale of protected woodland in the Campbell County and Scott County borderlands.
