USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
The town of Buchanan serves as the focal point of this Virginia survey, situated where the James River makes a sharp southward bend between Purgatory Mountain and Cove Mountain. This 1960s landscape, updated with mid-1980s developments, reveals a corridor defined by heavy transit and industry, including the Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads. The town’s layout is punctuated by its Gaging Sta and Fairview Cemetery, while the surrounding terrain is marked by significant landmarks like Saltpetre Cave and The Gorge.
