1935 Map of Moll Creek

About this map

Copper Ridge and Moccasin Ridge dominate the landscape in this 1935 survey, which details a rural stretch of Southwest Virginia along the boundary of Russell and Scott counties. The map captures a moment when travel through these limestone ridges relied on specific mountain gaps and named routes like the State Highway of the Lonesome Pine No 64. Small rural hubs such as Lawsons Store, Masons Store, and the curiously named Point Truth served as the primary gathering points for the surrounding hollows.
