About this map

The Clinch River carves through the heart of this Appalachian landscape, anchoring a string of historic valley settlements. In the early 21st century, Richlands remains the primary hub, surrounded by established neighborhoods like Lake Park and Dalton Addition. The industrial and rail legacy of the region is evident in the proximity of Raven, Doran, and Cedar Bluff, where the topography dictated the growth of the community along the narrow river corridor and its tributaries.

Upland features such as Kents Ridge and Stony Ridge separate the populated hollows, including Gillespie Hollow and Kentucky Hollow. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Tazewell County Airport and the commercial development at Claypool Hill. For those tracing local history, the map provides precise locations for smaller communities like Steeleburg and Paintlick, showing how the modern road network has integrated these older rural outposts.
