About this map

Lebanon serves as the focal point of this Southwest Virginia landscape, situated just north of the prominent Clinch Mountain. The mid-century topography reveals a community structured by steep ridges and narrow hollows, with the Clinch River meandering through the northern portion of the quadrangle. Significant family and community history is preserved through dozens of small burial grounds, such as Musick Cem, Sykes Cem, and the Russell Memorial Cem.

Smaller residential pockets like Slabtown, Pondtown, and the curiously named Stone Bruise appear alongside critical local infrastructure, including the Weaver Creek Sch and the Gaging station on the Clinch. The presence of The Lonesome Pine Trail and a drive-in theater reflects the mid-century transportation and social patterns of Russell County before modern bypasses and development altered the local character.
