2019 Map of Tazewell North

About this map

Tazewell and North Tazewell anchor the southeastern corner of this landscape, where the Clinch River flows past Maplewood Cem. Moving north, the terrain is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, a significant geographical boundary that separates local water systems like Dry Fork and Jacobs Fork. The map documents the intricate network of hollows and ridges that shaped development in this part of the Appalachian Highlands, with settlements such as Bishop and Horsepen situated within protected valleys like Brewster Hollow and Horsepen Cove. Along the northern edge, the state line between Virginia and West Virginia cuts through the mountains, marking the transition from Tazewell County to McDowell County. Notable local landmarks including Hubble Hill, Stony Ridge, and Big Stone Ridge illustrate the formidable topography that influenced early road placement, such as Adria Road and Baptist Valley Road.
