1958 Map of Elk Garden
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The Clinch River carves through the northern reaches of this Russell County landscape, where the Jefferson National Forest blankets the steep ridges of House and Barn Mountain and Beartown Mountain. This 1958 field examination reveals a highly localized settlement pattern defined by numerous family-named cemeteries and hollows. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific locations including Mutter Cem, Fogleman Cem, and Hendricks Cem, along with community hubs like the Elk Garden Sch and Hubbard Chapel. The valley floor is networked by the Lonesome Pine Road, connecting small settlements such as Blackford, Rosedale, and Corn Valley. This era shows a rural Virginia landscape where every prominent hollow—from John Hess Hollow to Patrick Hollow—retains the names of its early inhabitants, reflecting deep-rooted ties to the Appalachian terrain.
