1891 Map of Tazewell

About this map

Jeffersonville (Tazewell C.H.) stands as the primary seat of local governance in this survey of the Appalachian Highlands along the West Virginia Virginia Boundary Line. The landscape is dominated by the complex ridges of the Clinch Valley, where the Clinch River and Indian Creek drain a territory defined by prominent peaks like Paint Lick Mountain and Deskins Mountain. Small 19th-century settlements and outposts like Baptist Valley, Gap Store, and Honakerville are scattered throughout the valleys, connected by primitive routes that follow the winding topography of Sandy Ridge.
