North Fork Holston River carves through the Appalachian landscape, anchoring a valley of industrial sites and small communities along the Tazewell and Smyth county line. The legacy of the region's chemical and mining industry is evident at the Mathieson Chemical Corp site near Saltville and the Worthy Mine to the south. Transportation history is deeply etched into the terrain, where the Norfolk and Western RR sits abandoned along the riverbanks, bypassed as local travel shifted to the Blue Grass Trail.
