About this map

Clinch Mountain and Rich Mountain dominate this corner of the Virginia highlands, where a network of steep hollows and narrow valleys dictated early settlement patterns. Along the North Fork Holston River, agricultural and milling sites like Giesley Mill and White Mill provided local industry for rural communities such as Duncanville and Lindell. The landscape is dotted with several family-named landmarks and institutions, including the Jamison Cem and the Wesley Chapel Sch, which served as both a school and a social hub. In Poor Valley and Rich Valley, the distribution of numerous schools like Maiden Falls Sch and churches like Bethany Ch reflects a decentralized mountain society connected by logging roads and creek-side paths just before the modernization of the mid-20th century.
