2019 Map of Richlands

About this map

Richlands and its surrounding mountain ridges anchor this 2019 study of the Tazewell and Russell county border. The Clinch River and Little River wind through a landscape defined by industrial and residential growth along the Norfolk Southern rail corridor. Significant local landmarks including the Southwest Virginia Community College and Tazewell County Airport sit alongside residential pockets like Cedar Bluff, Claypool Hill, and Raven. For genealogists, several burial sites are documented, such as Hankins Cem and William Vance Cem, while the Clinch Valley Memorial Cem marks the edge of Doran. The topography is particularly detailed, showing the steep relief of Stone Mtn and the distinctively named House and Barn Mtn south of Clifton. Long-distance paths like the Trl of the Lonesome Pine trace the historic routes over these Appalachian ridges.
