1897 Map of Tazewell
USGS Topo · Published 1912About this map
Tazewell and the surrounding coal-rich borderlands of Virginia and West Virginia are captured here in a late-19th-century survey. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Norfolk and Western RR, which follows the river valleys and connects industrial hubs like Welch, Richlands, and Cedar Bluff. This era shows the region in the midst of a rapid mining and timber transition, where established rural sites like Mc Neil Store and Shack Mills coexist with the growing rail-side settlements of Kimball, Vivian, and Roderfield.
