1895 Map of Tazewell
USGS Topo · Published 1895About this map
The Norfolk and Western RR carves a critical path through the mountainous borderlands of Virginia and West Virginia, anchoring a string of late-nineteenth-century industrial and coal-adjacent settlements. In this 1893 survey, the railway follows the Clinch River corridor through Richlands, Cedar Bluff, and Tazewell, while to the north, the rail line connects the growing centers of Welch, Kimball, and Vivian. These towns represent the rapid transformation of the Appalachian landscape as mining and timber resources were accessed by steam power.
