New River serves as the central artery for this late nineteenth-century portrait of Southwest Virginia and the neighboring West Virginia borderland. The landscape is dominated by the industrial and geological intersection of the Norfolk and Western Railroad and various mineral operations, including the Belle Hampton Mine and Altoona Mines. Settlement patterns follow the river bends and rail lines, from the county seat at Pearisburg to smaller communities like Newbern and Pulaski.
