About this map

Clintwood serves as the focal point of this Dickenson County landscape, where the town street grid including Main St and Walnut St meets the winding Appalachian topography. The northern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the expansive John W. Flannagan Reservoir, a massive impoundment of the Pound River created by the Nicewonder Dam. This waterway carves deep into the ridges, creating distinctive features like Mullins Ridge and Cranes Nest Ridge.

Genealogists will find a significant density of family burial grounds throughout the hollows and hills, such as Vanover Cemetery, Rakes Cemetery, and Farmers Cemetery. These sites are often found near small community centers like Isom, Freeling, and Dwale. The map also captures infrastructure critical to the region's management and history, including the Keel Lookout Tower and the Bearpen Gap Tunnel near Fremont.
