About this map

Natural Tunnel and its adjacent observation platform anchor this mid-century survey of the rugged Clinch River valley. The Southern railway and the Clinchfield lines parallel the river's winding course, threading through a series of engineering feats including the Clinchport Tunnel, Starnes Tunnel, and the Clinch Mountain Tunnel. These rail corridors served a landscape dotted with small agricultural settlements like Clinchport and Speers Ferry, where local industry relied on water power at Rhoton Mill and Spivey Mill.
