1957 Map of Pound

About this map

Pound serves as the focal point for this survey of the Appalachian high country, situated near the headwaters of the North Fork Pound River. The landscape is defined by the steep ridges of Bold Camp Mountain and Tennessee Mountain, where narrow hollows like Killen Hollow and Cavenger Hollow provided the primary corridors for early settlement and transport. Numerous family cemeteries, such as Hillman Cem and Mullins Cem, are scattered across the slopes, reflecting the deeply rooted genealogical history of the region.
