1968 Map of Tazewell North

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The industrial and mountain landscapes of the Virginia-West Virginia border are captured here during a period of intensive coal extraction. Large-scale extractive operations, including numerous Strip Mine sites and a tipple, dominate the northern terrain near Squire and Bishop. This mining activity is served by the Norfolk and Western railroad, which threads through the steep valleys. To the south, the landscape shifts toward the more settled corridor of Tazewell and North Tazewell, located along the Clinch River. Local life is visible through landmarks like the Bishop Sch and Maplewood Cem, alongside rural crossroads such as Adria and Sayersville. The map illustrates the topographical divide between the coalfields of McDowell Co and the agricultural and residential areas along Stony Ridge and Baptist Valley.
