1935 Map of Norton
USGS Topo · Published 1935About this map
The coal industry dominates the rugged landscape of Wise County in the mid-1930s, where several mining operations and company towns define the social and economic structure. Active sites like Stonega Coal No 132 and Clinchfield Coal No 1 are connected by a dense network of rail lines, including the Interstate Railroad and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. These tracks converge at significant junctions such as Dorchester Junction and Kent Junction, while an Inclined Tramway near Dunbar illustrates the engineering required to move coal across the steep terrain of Stone Mountain and Rogers Ridge.
