About this map

Tazewell County Courthouse stands as the central landmark for the town of Tazewell, situated at the convergence of several major regional routes including the Trl of the Lonesome Pine and Fincastle Tpke. The map illustrates a landscape where agricultural valleys and high mountain ridges dictate the settlement patterns of southwestern Virginia. The Witten Valley and the expansive Thompson Valley are clearly defined by the parallel ridges of Paint Lick Mtn, Rich Mtn, and Knob Mtn.

South of these valleys, the terrain shifts into the protected boundaries of the Jefferson National Forest as it covers Clinch Mountain. Notable local landmarks like Wittens Fort and smaller communities such as Frog Level and Asberrys reflect the deep-seated history of this mountain corridor. The network of creeks, including the Clinch River and Maiden Spring Cr, highlights the drainage systems that have historically supported the area's farming and industry.
