About this map

Blountville and the surrounding borderlands of Tennessee and Virginia are captured here in detail during a 1935 field examination. The landscape is defined by the tight parallel ridges of Clinch Mountain, Moccasin Ridge, and Walker Mountain, which channel the North Fork Holston River and Moccasin Creek through narrow valleys. This survey documents a rural society organized around crossroads institutions, featuring numerous community nodes such as Arcadia, Mendota, and Hilton. The presence of the Southern Railway through Poor Valley highlights the era's reliance on rail transport for moving goods and people through the Appalachian foothills. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family-named landmarks and local burial grounds like Pyles Cem and South Fork Cem, alongside a dense network of small schools such as Gold Springs Sch and Indian Springs Sch.
