About this map

Clintwood serves as the focal point of this Dickenson County landscape, where the confluence of numerous hollows and ridges dictates the settlement pattern. The town’s street-level detail reveals a dense network including Main St, Market St, and residential corridors like Happy Valley Dr. Outside the town center, the terrain is defined by a succession of gaps and ridges, such as Grassy Gap and Maynard Ridge, which channel the flow of the Pound River as it meanders through the eastern portion of the quadrangle.

Industry and local history are etched into the geography through landmarks like the Keel Lookout Tower on Baker Ridge and various named hollows like Power House Holw and Snowball Holw. These family-named features and small communities like Flemingtown and Georges Fork provide an intimate view of the coal country interior in the early 21st century. Significant water features such as Mullins Pond and the branching Cane Cr further illustrate the complex drainage systems of this Appalachian plateau.
