1959 Map of Nebo

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Rich Valley and the surrounding ridgelines of the Jefferson National Forest characterize this late 1950s survey of Smyth County. The landscape is defined by the parallel courses of Walker Mountain and Brushy Mountain, which hem in a network of family cemeteries and rural congregations. Small communities like Nebo and Groseclose Store serve as focal points for the upland agriculture of the era. The mapping records a high density of ancestral sites, from the Ezelle Ch Goodman Cem to the Shuvely Cem Middle, illustrating the generational settlement patterns along the North Fork Holston River. Transport routes such as the Blue Grass Trail and Lee Highway wind through the gaps, connecting these mountain hollows to the broader region during a period of transition for rural Appalachia.
