1958 Map of Carbo

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Clinch River carves a winding path through the heart of Russell County, defining a landscape shaped by coal production and river-valley agriculture. This mid-century survey captures the industrial footprint of the Moss No 3 Preparation Plant and the nearby Clinch River Steam Plant at Carbo, documenting the vital energy infrastructure of the era. Extensive strip mines mark the northern ridges above South Clinchfield, while the rugged southern terrain transitions into the distinct topography of Sinkhole Valley and Reeds Valley. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, identifying dozens of family burial sites such as the Rasnake Cem, Sutherland Cem, and Musick Cem. Beyond heavy industry, the map records local landmarks like the Jessee Mill and the Norfolk and Western rail lines that once integrated these remote mountain communities with the regional economy.
