1930 Map of Speedwell

About this map

Wytheville serves as the primary hub of this Southwest Virginia landscape, situated between the ridges of Little Walker Mtn and the prominent heights of Lick Mountain. The late 1920s infrastructure is defined by the Norfolk and Western RR and the Lee Highway, which facilitate movement through the Great Valley. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex within the Unaka National Forest, where the Appalachian Trail winds through high-altitude landmarks like Horse Heaven and Porter Mtn. Numerous rural institutions, such as Cedar Hill Sch and St Johns Ch, suggest a well-established network of small agricultural communities. Along the valley floor, Cripple Creek flows past industrial and transit points like Government Siding and the settlement of Speedwell, illustrating a mountain economy balanced between timber, transit, and small-scale farming.
