USGS Topo · Published 1992About this map
The town of Wise and the surrounding coal country of Wise County are defined by a complex intersection of industry and topography. This mid-century survey documents a landscape transformed by extensive extractive activity, with numerous strip mines and reclaimed areas flanking the Guest Mountain range. The region's industrial heritage is further evidenced by coke ovens near Esserville and a dense network of mountain railroads, including the Interstate RR and the Norfolk and Western Ry.
