1938 Map of Mendota
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The North Fork Holston River carves a winding path through the valley between Clinch Mountain and Dickey Mountain, serving as a primary corridor for the Southern Railway. Near the settlement of Mendota, the landscape is dotted with small-scale industry and community hubs, including the Barker Mill and the industrial site of Silica. The distribution of family-named landmarks such as the Fleenor Mill Ford Cem and Fugate Cem reflects the deep-rooted agricultural and rural settlement patterns of this section of Washington and Scott Counties. Beyond the river bottom, the map documents a network of rural schools like Love Memorial Sch and Taylor Sch, alongside numerous mountain gaps such as Fugate Gap and Foley Gap that provided essential passage through the steep ridges of Poor Valley.
