About this map

The Clinch River flows along the western edge of this Scott County landscape, where the settlement at Starnes Slant (PO) and the rugged Starnes Bluff overlook the water. The map documents a dense network of mountain agriculture and industry during the late 1930s, punctuated by numerous water-powered sites such as Carrico Mill, Cox Mill, and Williams Mill. In the south, the regional hub of Gate City is situated along the Southern railroad line, serving as a gateway through the formidable Moccasin Gap.
