Black Mountain and Stone Mountain dominate this mid-1930s landscape, where industrial coal operations meet the rural life of Poor Valley. The presence of Stonega Coal No 72 and Big Stone Gap No 6 points to the region's intense reliance on extraction, supported by the dual rail presence of the Southern Railway and the Louisville and Nashville. Settlements like Keokee and Dryden serve as local hubs, while smaller communities such as Newtown and Delvale are linked by the winding course of the Powell River.
