1959 Map of Nebo

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The North Fork Holston River winds through the heart of Rich Valley, a landscape defined by its deep community roots and agricultural heritage in Smyth County. This mid-century survey reveals a network of country churches and family burial grounds that anchor the rural landscape, including Young Chapel, Fairview Ch, and the Ezella Ch Goodman Cem. The map illustrates the region's transport patterns, with the Blue Grass Trail crossing the ridges and the North Fork Holston River carving the valley floor. To the north, Brushy Mountain and Carter Mountain form a formidable boundary within the Jefferson National Forest, where smaller settlements like Beartown and the Groseclose Store served as local hubs. The presence of numerous benchmarks and summits, such as Bryants Knob and Goat Knob, details the varied elevations of the Walker Mountain range.
