1959 Map of Nebo

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Rich Valley serves as the central corridor for this Southwest Virginia survey, positioned between the imposing heights of Walker Mountain and Brushy Mountain. The settlement of Nebo anchors the valley floor, where small rural churches and family burying grounds such as Goodman Cem and Davis Cem mark the landscape. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the ridges of Carter Mountain and Little Brushy Mountain, where narrow hollows like Bridgeman Hollow provide drainage into the North Fork Holston River. Transport and trade patterns are visible through the presence of the Groseclose Store and the path of the Blue Grass Trail, which follows the valley floor. The map also reveals the border intersections where Smyth County meets Bland, Tazewell, and Wythe Counties, highlighting the region's complex administrative geography within the Jefferson National Forest.
