About this map

Great North Mountain and Little North Mountain dominate this mid-century topographic survey of the Virginia highlands. The rail-oriented economy of the era is anchored by the Chesapeake and Ohio RR, which threads through the valleys connecting industrial and transit points like Craigsville, Fordwick, and Bells Valley. This transport corridor along the Calfpasture River contrasts with the remote, ridge-enclosed hollows to the west, where family and community landmarks like Griffin Ch and Wilderness Sch served more isolated populations.
