Maxwell was a cluster of buildings between Tazewell and Pounding Mill, as
shown on this 1893 map. Cliffield is just to the east according to the USGS
Historical Topographic Map Explorer (
https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/topoexplorer/index.html) where there is
currently two tracks and a siding where Va. 820 joins U.S. 460, at the
Clinch River Forest Products lumber mill.
