1965 Map of Galax

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Galax sits at the heart of this mid-1960s survey, showing the city's industrial and residential footprint as it transitions into the late 20th century. The New River carves a sweeping path through the western portion of the map, supporting the town of Fries and its corporate boundary. The influence of the Norfolk and Western railway is evident, particularly at Chestnut Yard and where it follows Chestnut Creek toward the city center.
