1936 Map of Burkes Garden

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Burkes Garden dominates the southeastern quadrant of this survey, appearing as a singular limestone basin completely encircled by Garden Mountain. This distinctive geological bowl is a center of local settlement, featuring Station Spring, Fish Spring, and Blue Spring as primary water sources. Further north, the landscape shifts into the ridge-and-valley patterns of the Appalachian Highlands, where the Clinch River and Bluestone River systems originate. Industrial activity is visible near the West Virginia border, where the Norfolk and Western RR serves the growing communities of Bluefield and West Graham. The interior valleys are dotted with small rural hubs like Witten Mill and Shawver Mill, along with numerous community landmarks such as Ebenezer Ch and Sluss Sch, reflecting the agricultural and social structure of Tazewell County during the mid-1930s.
