1887 Map of Pocahontas
USGS Topo · Published 1887About this map
Pocahontas stands at the center of this mountain landscape, a vital coal mining settlement emerging during the late nineteenth-century industrial expansion. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges, including Stone Ridge and East River Mountain, which separate the watersheds of the Bluestone River and Wolf Creek. A distinct geological feature, Burks Garden, appears as a natural bowl surrounded by Garden Mountain, illustrating the unique topography of Tazewell and Smyth counties.
