2022 Map of Jewell Ridge
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
Jewell Ridge and Whitewood anchor this mountainous section of the Appalachians, where the winding boundary between Buchanan Co and Tazewell Co follows the high ridgelines. The landscape is a dense network of named hollows and ridges, reflecting generations of upland settlement and resource extraction. Significant local genealogy is preserved in numerous family burial grounds tucked into the hills, including Rosa Cole Cem, Sawyer Cem, and Stevenson Cem. In the southeastern corner, the settlement of Seaboard lies near the headwaters of W Fork Big Cr. The terrain is defined by deep drainage systems like Dismal Creek and Jones Fork, with access provided by a complex web of mountain routes such as Brown Mountain Rd and Jewell Ridge Rd.
