1958 Map of Tiptop

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Abbs Valley and the surrounding ridges of Tazewell County define a landscape shaped by both the Norfolk and Western Ry and the rugged topography of the Jefferson National Forest. This region shows a transition from agricultural bottoms to industrial resource extraction, evidenced by Strip mines near Horsepen Creek and high-elevation landmarks like the Valley Ridge Lookout Tower. The settlement patterns follow the narrow corridors of Wrights Valley and Stony Valley, where small communities such as Tiptop and Springville emerged along the rail lines and riverbanks.
