About this map

The Clinch River flows through this corner of Scott County, shaping a landscape of steep ridges and narrow hollows. At Fort Blackmore, the river meets Stony Creek, creating a natural hub for local travel and settlement. The map highlights the historic presence of family-named landmarks and small communities such as Wood, Kerns, and Lano. Strategic high points are marked by the Buckner Ridge Lookout Tower and named summits like Big Flat Top.

Resource and recreation patterns are evident in the northern reaches, where Bark Camp Lake and the Bark Campground sit among the timbered heights of Osborne Ridge. Transportation infrastructure, including the Glenn Carter Memorial Bridge and several state routes, connects these isolated valleys. Local history is etched into the terrain through features like Hagan Hall and the interestingly named river bend known as The Suck.
