1894 Map of Buena Vista

USGS Topo · Published 1929

About this map

Lexington and Buena Vista anchor this late 19th-century survey of the Blue Ridge, where the James River carves through the mountains at the dramatic Balcony Falls. The landscape reflects a transition from river-based transport to a complex rail network, featuring the Norfolk and Western R.R. and the Va. Midland Div. R.R.. Local industrial history is evident at Buffalo Forge and Chalk Mine Mt., while early post offices like Loch Laird (Triford P.O.) and New Glasgow (Clifford P.O.) provide essential markers for genealogical research.
