About this map

The North Fork Clinch River and the Clinch River carve through a landscape of ridges and gaps, most notably featuring the remarkable Natural Tunnel. This area of Scott County is defined by its deep genealogical roots, visible through a dense concentration of family burial grounds such as the Bowen-Peterson Cemetery, Fraley Cemetery, and Minton Cemetery. The regional transportation network relies on historic passages like Kane Gap and Drakes Gap, connecting small settlements including Duffield and Pattonsville.

Industry and commerce are represented by the Hortons Summit Post Office and the rail infrastructure supporting the Bald Knob Tunnel and Copper Siding. The map meticulously details the valley floor communities of Sloantown and Robinette Valley, while upland features like Purchase Knob and Stone Ridge dominate the horizon. This survey provides a clear view of the rural homesteads and river crossings, including Powers Ford, that have sustained this Appalachian community for generations.
