USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The coal-rich boundary between Buchanan Co and Tazewell Co is defined here by an intensive network of extractive industry and mountain settlements. The Norfolk and Western railway threads through the narrow valleys, serving a landscape dominated by strip mines, numerous unnamed mines, and tipples. These industrial sites are interspersed with the community life of the region, anchored by the Jewell Valley Sch and local congregations at Jewell Camp Chapel and Jewell Chapel.
