1965 Map of Big Island

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The James River and Pedlar River converge in this mid-1960s survey, marking a rugged landscape where the Blue Ridge meets industrial transit lines. The Chesapeake and Ohio Rwy follows the northern bank of the James, connecting small riverfront communities like Big Island, Waugh, and Coleman Falls. Much of the western terrain is preserved within the George Washington National Forest, where the Blue Ridge Parkway snakes past several scenic overlooks, including The Riffles Overlook and Terrapin Hill Overlook.
