1952 Map of Buena Vista

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The James River and Maury River converge in this mid-century topographic survey, highlighting a region defined by industrial waterpower and mountain crossings. The industrial character of Buena Vista and Glasgow is evident, while the surrounding landscape transitions into the steep ridges of the George Washington National Forest and Jefferson National Forest. This era shows the established routes of the Norfolk and Western Railway and the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway as they follow the river valleys, critical for the transport of materials from local operations like the Lone Jack Quarry.
