1940 Map of Buena Vista
USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
Buena Vista and the industrial corridors of the James River dominate this 1940 edition, capturing a landscape defined by the convergence of major mountain railroads. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway follows the winding river south toward Big Island, while the Norfolk and Western Railway cuts through from the north, meeting at the strategic rail junction of Glasgow. This survey, conducted in the mid-1930s, documents the early footprint of public land management within the George Washington National Forest and Jefferson National Forest, including the location of CCC Camp No 10.
