1939 Map of Buena Vista

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

Buena Vista anchors this 1930s survey where the North Fork joins the James River, serving as a critical industrial and rail hub for the region. The landscape is defined by the sharp convergence of the Norfolk and Western Railway and the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, which trace the riverbanks through the gap at Balcony Falls. This area represents a period of significant federal land management, evidenced by the large tracts of the George Washington National Forest and Jefferson National Forest that flank the river corridor.
