About this map

North Tazewell and the Clinch River valley serve as the anchor for this 2011 survey, which spans the rugged borderlands between Virginia and West Virginia. The landscape is defined by its deep coal-country topography, where narrow valleys host settlements like Squire, Bishop, and Adria. Cultural landmarks such as the North Tazewell Post Office and Maplewood Cemetery mark the more developed southern portion of the quadrangle, while the northern reaches are dominated by steep hollows and ridges like Deadman Hollow and Big Stone Ridge.

Industrial and transport patterns are evident in the winding roads that follow creek beds, such as Jacobs Fork and Horsepen Creek. Smaller locales like Brewsterdale and the McCall Place offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in Tazewell County. The area’s water management is highlighted by the Dalton Branch Dam, illustrating how the terrain's drainage, including Cavitts Creek and Whitley Branch, has historically shaped local infrastructure and habitation.
