About this map

Montgomery White Sulphur Sprs. and Yellow Sulphur Springs highlight the prominence of resort culture in the late 19th-century Appalachian landscape. This 1880s survey, published later, documents the complex topography of the Ridge-and-Valley province where the Roanoke River and Little River carve through massive ranges like Potts Mountain and Poor Mountain. The Norfolk and Western Railroad serves as the primary industrial artery, notably passing through the Big Tunnel near Shawsville.
