1938 Map of Blountville

About this map

Blountville serves as the focal point of this Tennessee-Virginia borderland survey, with the historic Court House anchoring the settlement just south of the state line. The landscape is defined by the parallel ridges of the Appalachians, including Akard Ridge and Walker Mountain, which channel local life into valleys like Rich Valley. A robust network of rural institutions is evident, from the Fraley Institute and several country schools like Mill Point Sch to local landmarks such as the County Farm and Linville Cave.
