1894 Map of Abingdon
USGS Topo · Published 1901About this map
The Norfolk and Western R. R. serves as the industrial spine for this region of Southwest Virginia, connecting major settlements like Abingdon and Marion through the Great Valley. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of the Iron Mountains, including the prominent summits of Mt. Rogers and White Top, where the borders of Tennessee and North Carolina meet. This era shows a distributed economy of water-powered industry, with Belfast Mills, De Busk's Mill, and Vance's Mill situated along the many creeks and branches that feed the north, middle, and south forks of the Holston River.
