USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
The town of Pound sits at the northern edge of this terrain, where the North Fork Pound River flows amidst a landscape defined by industrial extraction and deep-seated local communities. Extensive strip mines and the Clinchfield-Moss Mines mark the ridges of Bold Camp Mountain and Indian Mountain, revealing the heavy reliance on coal in this corner of Wise County. This resource-driven economy is tied together by the Chesapeake and Ohio RR and the Clinchfield RR, which snake through the hollows to move the region's output.
