USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
Wise (Gladeville) and Norton anchor this 1916 survey of Wise County, reflecting an era defined by the coal and timber industries of Southwest Virginia. The landscape is dominated by the ridges of Stone Mountain and Powell Mountain, while the industrial character of the region is evident in the dense network of the Interstate RR, Norfolk and Western, and Carolina Clinchfield and Ohio railroads. These lines connect numerous small mountain settlements such as Glamorgan, Dunbar, and Roaring Fork.
