1939 Map of Plum Grove

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Clinch River and the Holston River define the northern and southern limits of this Appalachian landscape, where the ridges of Copper Ridge and Pine Mountain dictate the flow of settlement. The 1939 field data, updated with mid-1970s photogrammetric details, reveals a rural network of small communities like Bellamytown and New Canton linked by the Lee Highway. Local history is anchored by several country churches, including Amis Chapel and Fudge Chapel, while the Southern railroad line and the New Canton Siding reflect the importance of rail transport for this corner of Stanley Valley. The map also documents the complex boundary lines where Scott and Hancock counties in Virginia meet Hawkins County in Tennessee.
