1957 Map of Fort Blackmore

About this map

Fort Blackmore serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated along a prominent bend of the Clinch River in Scott County. The landscape is defined by the tight, parallel ridges of the Appalachian chain, including Stone Mountain and Buckner Ridge, which host a dense network of family cemeteries and small rural congregations. The presence of features like the Buckner Ridge Lookout Tower and the Glades Wildlife Management Area speaks to the region's managed timberlands and conservation efforts within the Jefferson National Forest.
