1965 Map of Galax

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The New River carves a dramatic path through the landscape, followed closely by the Norfolk and Western River rail line. This 1965 survey, updated in 1970, captures the industrial and civic heart of the region centered on Galax, where the city corporate boundary meets West Galax and Cliffview. The industrial character of the era is evident in the numerous features along Chestnut Creek, including a Filtration Plant, Sewage Disposal, and several Mine operations near Iron Ridge.
