The New River defines the western reaches of this mid-1960s landscape, cutting through the Blue Ridge foothills near Fries. This industrial settlement, complete with a Filtration Plant and Substation, sits along the river bends where the Norfolk and Western rail line served the local economy. Further east, the city of Galax emerges as a significant regional hub, displaying a dense grid of streets, the Armory, and Felts Park.
