1965 Map of Fosters Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The New River carves a deep, serpentine path through the heart of this Wythe County landscape, dictating the placement of both industry and transit in the mid-1960s. Along its banks, the Norfolk and Western railroad follows the water's curve, serving settlements like Fosters Falls, Barren Springs, and Bertha. The map reveals a legacy of industrial activity tied to the land's mineral wealth, specifically at Boom Furnace and several gravel pits and quarries that dot the terrain.
