2019 Map of Hutchinson Rock

About this map

The ridge-and-valley topography of southwestern Virginia defines this area, where Jefferson National Forest covers much of the high ground. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds through the southern half of the map, crossing major landmarks like Walker Gap and following the rugged divide between Tazewell and Bland Counties. In the north, Thompson Valley and Clinch Valley host established rural settlements near Tazewell, with family heritage sites such as Thompson Cem, Buchanan Cem, and Crabtree Cem marking the historical footprint of local landowners. Significant hydrological features like Maiden Spring Cr and Beavers Brook Spring originate here, feeding the complex drainage system of the upper Clinch River watershed. The map provides clear detail of the unique circular landscape of Burkes Garden tucked against the eastern boundary, as well as prominent summits like Hutchinson Rock.
