1958 Map of Nora

About this map

The McClure River carves a path through the heart of this Appalachian landscape, dictating the development of coal-country settlements like McClure, Stratton, and Nora. In this mid-century period, the Clinchfield RR serves as the industrial spine of the region, passing through the Buffalo Tunnel to move through the steep terrain. The map reveals a dense network of family-named ridges and gaps, where numerous hilltop cemeteries such as Nealy Ridge Cem and Ramsey Ridge Cem mark long-established genealogical roots.
