1935 Map of Moggasin

USGS Topo · Published 1935

About this map

Gate City and Kingsport serve as the primary hubs in this 1935 survey of the Virginia-Tennessee borderlands. The landscape is defined by the parallel ridges of Copper Ridge and Moccasin Ridge, with the Clinch River and Holston River cutting through the valleys. The industrial footprint of the era is evident at the Moccasin Creek Power Plant and numerous local milling operations such as Donald Mill and Fugate Mill. Local transportation centers on the Southern Railway and the historic Lee Highway, which facilitate movement between rural schools and churches. Genealogists will find many family-named landmarks and institutions, including the Rye Cove Memorial Sch, Wolfe Cem, and Starnes Bluff Ch. The map captures a moment before modern infrastructure altered the rural character of communities like Clinchport and Church Hill.
