Atkins

The landscape around Atkins is a folded Appalachian valley beside the Middle Fork Holston River, which has shaped both the settlement pattern and local economy. Atkins lies in Smyth County, where Interstate 81 and U.S. Route 11 follow a long corridor through southwestern Virginia. The Mount Rogers region rises to the south, while the Jefferson National Forest and the Appalachian Trail define the wider mountain country. County history is closely linked to Saltville, whose salt deposits supported major industry and supplied the Confederacy during the Civil War.
