2013 Map of Clinchport

About this map

Rhoton Mill and Craft Mill stand along the north bank of the Clinch River, marking a landscape where water power and early commerce defined the local economy. This 2013 survey documents a segment of Scott County where transit history is deeply etched into the terrain, from the Carter Ferry and Jennings Ford to the industrial legacy of the Clinchfield Viaduct and Danlboone Yard. The map captures the unique geology of the region, including the Natural Tunnel and the high ridges of Cove Ridge and Copper Creek Knob. Smaller settlements like Rye Cove, Clinchport, and Bellamy are connected by a network of winding roads and numerous tunnels, including the Moccasin Ridge Tunnel and Starnes Tunnel, which negotiate the complex topography of gaps and hollows.
