About this map

Coal Hill and the surrounding timber and mining country of the Cumberland Plateau are documented in this 2016 survey. The terrain is defined by deeply cut hollows and high ridges, including Brimstone Ridge and Schoolhouse Ridge, which hem in the drainage of Brimstone Creek and the New River. The map is particularly valuable for its density of family and community burial grounds, recording the locations of the Mill Creek Cem, Campground Cem, and Newport Cem among many others.

Settlement patterns follow the narrow valleys and ridge tops, connecting locales like Robbins, Glenmary, and Slick Rock. Infrastructure such as the Robbins Tunnel and Walker Bridge highlight the engineering required to navigate this landscape. The intersection of the Scott Co and Morgan Co line near Mill Creek provides a clear boundary for those researching land tracts and family history across the two counties.
