1968 Map of Tazewell South

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Norfolk and Western railway corridor defines the northern edge of this landscape, connecting the coal-rich region through the valley of the Clinch River. This 1960s survey illustrates a rural Appalachian community organized around the long, parallel ridges of Paint Lick Mountain and Clinch Mountain. In the fertile Witten Valley and Thompson Valley between these heights, small settlements like Frog Level and Maiden represent the traditional agricultural heart of the county. High-elevation landmarks such as Morris Knob and Chimney Rock overlook a network of country churches, including Bundys Chapel and Pleasant Hill Ch, which served as the social anchors for these valley communities. The southern portion of the map transitions into the protected timberlands of the Jefferson National Forest, where the terrain steepens into the remote heights of Big Doubles and Little Doubles.
