The town of Clintwood serves as a focal point for this 1960s study of Dickenson County, Virginia, where the extractive economy and rugged geography of the Appalachians are clearly visible. Dense networks of Strip Mines and local coal operations surround settlements like Georges Fork and Freeling, while the northern portion of the map is defined by the steep slopes of Pine Mountain and the Jefferson National Forest. This era marks a significant change in the local landscape with the appearance of the John W Flannagan Reservoir, which begins to fill the deep valley of the Pound River.
