The New River carves a deep path through the Ridge-and-Valley province on this late 19th-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by industrial extraction and mineral springs. The Norfolk and Western Railroad follows the river's winding course, connecting key depots like New River Depot to mountain industrial sites such as the Altoona Mines and Belle Hampton Mine. This era was also marked by the popularity of mineral water retreats, evidenced by the presence of Gray Sulphur Sprs and Egglestons Springs.
