1938 Map of Hansonville

About this map

Hansonville and Dickensonville anchor this 1938 survey of the Appalachian ridge-and-valley landscape along the Russell and Washington County line. The terrain is defined by the parallel elevations of Copper Ridge, Moccasin Ridge, and the formidable Clinch Mountain to the south. Local commerce in the pre-war era centered on small hydraulic sites such as Miller Mill and Hawkins Mill, while social life was organized around numerous country institutions like Sulphur Springs School and Maple Grove Church.
