The Clinch River carves a path through this part of the Appalachian plateau, anchoring a string of valley settlements including Richlands, Doran, and Raven. The 2022 landscape is defined by the tight relationship between the river corridor and the Norfolk Southern railway, which historically supported the regional coal and timber industries. Higher elevations like House and Barn Mtn and Kents Ridge hem in the developed lowlands, where several significant community sites are located, such as Southwest Virginia Community College and the Tazewell County Airport. Local history is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, including Clinch Valley Memorial Cem, Vance Cem, and Hankins Cem, which sit alongside the residential expansions of Birmingham and Cedar Bluff. This map captures the modern infrastructure and rugged topography of the Tazewell County and Russell County border.
