USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Coal-mining infrastructure and tight valley settlements characterize this portion of the Appalachian landscape in the late 1960s. The Clinch River winds through the center of the sheet, followed closely by the Norfolk and Western railway which services the industrial activity at Red Ash, Raven, and Doran. Evidence of the region’s extractive economy is visible in several locations, including a Strip Mine along Road Ridge and a Mine Dump near the settlement of Zeal.
