1957 Map of Fort Blackmore

About this map

Fort Blackmore sits along the northern bank of the Clinchfield RR, serving as a focal point for this 1957 landscape in Scott County. The settlement patterns follow the winding path of the Clinch River, where Pendleton Island and Grays Island break the water's flow. Much of the surrounding territory is defined by the Glades Wildlife Management Area and the Jefferson National Forest, indicating a region transitioning from concentrated valley agriculture to protected ridge wilderness.
