USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The James River carves a deep, winding path through this portion of Botetourt County, serving as the primary corridor for both the Chesapeake and Ohio River and the Norfolk and Western railroads. Centered on the town of Buchanan, the landscape is defined by the massive ridge of Purgatory Mountain and the surrounding Jefferson National Forest. The map captures a moment of infrastructure transition, showing Interstate 81 cutting through the terrain alongside the historic U.S. 11.
