About this map

Grundy and the surrounding coal-country hollows of the Cumberland Plateau are captured here just before the United States entered the Great War. The terrain is defined by the deep, winding incision of the Levisa Fork and its countless tributaries, creating a landscape where community life followed the creek beds. A remarkably dense network of mountain schools, such as Rowe Mountain School, Lester Fork School, and Ball Creek School, illustrates the decentralized nature of early 20th-century settlement in Buchanan County.
