USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Wise sits at a critical geographic Divide, where the landscape transitions from the industrial activity of the northern coalfields to the protected expanse of the Jefferson National Forest. This mid-century survey captures a period of institutional growth, marked by the presence of Clinch Valley College and the Wise County Memorial Hospital. To the north, the terrain is characterized by numerous Strip Mines and worker settlements like Glamorgan and Stephens, connected by the Interstate RR.
