1958 Map of Saltville
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Clinch Mountain and Brushy Mountain dominate this landscape, separating the narrow Poor Valley from the industrial activity centered on the North Fork Holston River. Industrial heritage is evident along the riverbanks, where the Olin Mathieson Chemical Corp RR and Norfolk and Western rail lines serve Saltville and its associated Muck pond. The map documents a dense network of family history, evidenced by nearly two dozen named burial sites including Vencill Cem, Bennett Cem, and Elizabeth Cem. Settlement patterns follow the valley floors, with small communities like Belfast, Cardwell Town, and Allison Gap positioned near the base of Little Mountain. Educational and spiritual life is anchored by R B Worthy High Sch, Belfast Sch, and local congregations at Harmony Church and New Bethel Ch.
