1958 Map of Saltville

About this map

Industrial and agricultural landscapes intersect at Saltville during the mid-to-late twentieth century. The North Fork Holston River serves as a geographic anchor, bordered by the operations of the Olin Mathieson Chemical Corp RR and numerous salt wells that define the town's historic economic base. Moving north from the valley floor, the terrain rises into the Clinch Mountain range, where the Jefferson National Forest and the Laurel Bed Wildlife Mgmt Area preserve large tracts of woodland.
