1916 Map of Richlands
USGS Topo · Published 1916About this map
Richlands and the coal-rich valleys of Southwest Virginia are depicted here during a period of heavy industrialization and mountain settlement. The Norfolk and Western RR follows the Clinch River, connecting a string of towns from Honaker and Swords Creek to Raven and Cedar Bluff. This rail infrastructure, combined with the Lumber RR and numerous small hollows, reveals an economy deeply tied to the extraction of natural resources from the surrounding ridges.
