USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Virginia Polytechnic Institute stands as a focal point of this Montgomery County landscape, positioned just south of Blacksburg and the sprawling Jefferson Nat Forest. The region’s industrial character is defined by the extraction and transport of minerals, most notably at Merrimac Mines and the isolated Arsenic Mine near the southern boundary. Two major rail corridors, the Virginia Railway and the Norfolk and Western, navigate the high relief of Paris Mountain and Price Mountain to connect the region's mines and settlements.
