1965 Map of Fosters Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The New River carves a deep, serpentine path through the heart of this Wythe County landscape, dictating the placement of early industry and transport. Along its northern banks, the Norfolk and Western railway snakes through river-bottom settlements like Fosters Falls, Barren Springs, and Lone Ash. The presence of Boom Furnace and several scattered quarries indicates a history of mineral extraction tied to the local geology, while the High Rocks Mill at the southern edge suggests a reliance on water power from Reed Creek.
