About this map

The town of Pulaski serves as a commercial hub in the lower right quadrant of this survey, where the Norfolk and Western railway and State Highway 100 navigate the base of Draper Mountain. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic southwest-to-northeast orientation of the Appalachian ridges, including Big Walker Mountain and Little Walker Mountain, which dictate the paths of waterways like Walker Creek and Wolf Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find several rural institutions scattered through these valleys, such as the Brick Church near Mechanicsburg and the Holston Ch further south. Industrial footprints are visible at the Stanse Mines near Longmeadow, while community life in the 1930s is evidenced by numerous local educational sites, including Long Spur Sch and Clark Sch. The presence of the Pulaski Reservoir and a Lookout Tower on Wolf Creek Mtn underscores the region's managed natural resources during this era.
