About this map

Christiansburg and the surrounding Blue Ridge landscape are captured here during a period of significant growth for the Norfolk and Western Railroad. The map reveals a region defined by its therapeutic waters and industrial progress, anchored by the engineering of the Big Tunnel and the prominent health resorts at Montgomery White Sulphur Sprs. and Yellow Sulphur Springs. These spring-fed destinations were vital social and economic hubs in the late 19th century, drawing visitors into the mountains via the expanding rail network.
