About this map

George Washington National Forest dominates the western topography of this mid-1930s survey, where the Blue Ridge foothills descend toward the James River. The landscape is a network of small upland communities and rural crossroads, including Sandidges, Lowesville, and Woodson. The county seat of Amherst serves as a regional hub, connected by the Southern Railway and significant thoroughfares like State Highway No 29.
