1957 Map of Pound
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Pound serves as the focal point for this landscape in the late 1950s, situated near the confluence of several mountain forks including the North Fork Pound River. The area is characterized by intense resource extraction and complex topography, where Strip mines and the Clinchfield-Moss Mines operate alongside the rail lines of the Chesapeake and Ohio and Clinchfield railroads. This era of industrial coal production is juxtaposed with deeply rooted family settlements, evident in the dozens of family cemeteries like Dotson Cem, Hillman Cem, and Stallard Cem that dot the ridges and hollows.
