1916 Map of Bucu

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Sandy Ridge and Big A Mtn anchor the high elevations of this Appalachian landscape, where the headwaters of the Russell Fork and Dismal Creek carve a network of steep hollows. Surveyed in 1913-14, the map reveals a remote region transitioning through industrial expansion, specifically via the Dickenson and Russell and Norfolk and Western railroads. These rail lines follow the narrow valley floors to reach timber and mineral outposts like Wilder and Vansant.
