1947 Map of Duffield
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
Natural Tunnel and the surrounding karst topography of the Jefferson National Forest anchor this 1947 field examination of the Virginia high country. The map details a complex landscape where the Southern railroad maneuvers through the Bald Knob Tunnel and alongside the Clinch River. Settlement patterns follow the narrow valleys between Powell Mountain and Copper Ridge, with the Daniel Boone Trail passing through the village of Duffield. Notable for genealogists is the high density of family burial grounds, including the Willis Campbell Cem, Watson Cem, and Barnett Cem. The inclusion of the Hortons Summit (PO) and various small rural institutions like Purchase Sch and Mt View Ch provides a clear view of the social geography in the North Fork Valley before modern infrastructure changes.
