2011 Map of Tazewell South

About this map

The Clinch River meanders across the northern reaches of this landscape, anchoring a region defined by narrow valleys and prominent ridges. Wittens Fort and Pisgah sit along the river corridor, while the town of Tazewell occupies the northeastern corner, its residential streets like Marion Ave and Hotel Ave giving way to the surrounding mountain terrain. To the south, the map details a series of agricultural and residential pockets including Thompson Valley, Witten Valley, and the crossroads at Pucketts Store. The topography is marked by distinctive elevations such as Deskin Mountain, Battle Knob, and Tater Knob, which separate the various branches of Plum Creek and Maiden Spring Creek. This network of small settlements like Criggers, Asberrys, and Benbow illustrates the traditional Appalachian settlement pattern where communities formed in the level land between high ridges like Knob Mountain and Morris Knob.
