2013 Map of Norma

About this map

New River and its numerous tributaries, including Big Bull Cr and Lick Cr, carve a complex drainage pattern through this highland region of Scott County. The landscape is defined by a succession of high points and ridges such as Day Mountain, Straight Mountain, and Signal Mountain, the latter of which features Lookout Tower Number Sixteen. This 2013 survey illustrates a rural infrastructure centered on the valley floors, where small settlements like Norma and Cordell are connected by roads like Norma Rd and the notable Cordell Bridge. Industrial history is evident along the western edge near Brimstone Cr, where several rail sidings including Goodman Siding, Sterling Siding, and Brimstone Siding appear alongside the Richland Coal Co Rd, highlighting the area's history of extraction and transport.
