About this map

Clintwood and its surrounding coalfield topography are detailed in this 2016 survey, showcasing the complex network of hollows and ridges that define Dickenson County. The landscape is marked by the winding Pound River and the northern reaches of the John W. Flannagan Reservoir, which cuts through the mountainous terrain. Settlements like Flemingtown, Isom, and Dwale follow the contours of the valley floors, linked by a web of local routes such as State Route 83 and The Lake Rd.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family history preserved in the numerous cemeteries scattered across the ridges, including Hall Cem, Newberry Cem, and Mullins Cem. The map illustrates the sharp jurisdictional divide between Kentucky and Virginia at Cumberland Mountain, where the border follows the rugged crest. Significant geographic markers like Blowing Rock Gap, Pine Mountain, and the Bearpen Gap Tunnel emphasize the region's reliance on specific mountain passes and industrial infrastructure for connectivity.
