1935 Map of Gate City
USGS Topo · Published 1935About this map
The Clinch River and its accompanying ridges dominate this 1935 survey of Scott County, Virginia. The landscape is defined by the tight corridors of Moccasin Valley and Poor Valley, where small-scale agriculture and industry took hold during the mid-Depression era. Significant local landmarks include a series of water-powered operations such as Jayne Mill and Williams Mill, alongside a dense network of community centers like Starnes Bluff Ch, Farleys Chapel, and the Red Hill Sch. The town of Gate City serves as the focal point for transportation, situated where the Southern RR meets U S Highway No 58 at the strategic Moccasin Gap. This topographic study by the Tennessee Valley Authority reveals a rural economy still reliant on its natural watercourses and the proximity of the Southern RR for connectivity beyond the ridges.
