1968 Map of Tazewell North

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Clinch River flows through the southern portion of this landscape, anchoring the bustling rail corridor of Tazewell and North Tazewell. This late-1960s survey documents a region defined by the industry of the Norfolk and Western railroad, which snakes through the steep valleys to serve the extensive strip mines and tipples of the northern coal country. The border between West Virginia and Virginia cuts across the rugged terrain near Bishop, where the topography is split by the formidable Stony Ridge Divide. Local life is etched into the hollows, from the community at Adria to the Lila Chapel and numerous family cemeteries like Maplewood Cem. The map reveals the intricate water network of Jacobs Fork and Dry Fork, illustrating how settlement patterns followed these vital narrow corridors between the ridges.
