About this map

Galax serves as the industrial and population hub of this 1930s Virginia landscape, where the Norfolk and Western Ry terminates near Chestnut Creek. The surrounding Blue Ridge terrain is dotted with small rural communities and family-named landmarks such as Monarat PO, West Galax, and Oldtown. In the northwestern corner, the New River carves a deep path through the mountains, facilitated by river crossings like Dickinson Ferry and Dixon Ferry.
