About this map

Clifton Forge and Covington serve as the primary industrial and rail hubs along the Jackson River in this 1949 survey. The landscape is defined by the steep ridges of the George Washington National Forest, where the Chesapeake and Ohio RR follows the river's narrow passage through the mountains. To the south, the presence of the Rich Patch Mines near Glen Wilton highlights the region's historical ties to mineral extraction.
