2013 Map of Tazewell South

About this map

Tazewell sits at the northern edge of this landscape, where the headwaters of the Clinch River begin their journey through the Appalachian highlands. The area is defined by a series of parallel ridges and agricultural valleys, most notably Witten Valley and Thompson Valley, which have long supported rural settlements. Historic sites such as Wittens Fort and Pisgah mark early frontier positions, while small community hubs like Pucketts Store and Asberrys indicate the persistent local-service patterns of the region. The map reveals a transition from the structured street grid of the county seat to the winding country roads like Pleasant Church Rd that follow the natural contours of the valley floors. Prominent landmarks such as Deskin Mountain, Knob Mountain, and Chimney Rock separate the watersheds of Maiden Spring Cr and Plum Cr, creating a geography of isolated but interconnected hollows like Possum Hollow and Sugar Tree Hollow.
