1965 Map of Glasgow
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
Glasgow sits at the strategic confluence of the Maury River and James River, serving as a vital industrial and transit hub in the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by the sharp convergence of the Norfolk and Western and C & O railroads, which parallel the riverbanks to support local operations like the claypit and various Quarries. To the north, the historic community of Buffalo Forge and the Buffalo Forge Station mark a legacy of early iron industry along Buffalo Creek. The map documents a deeply established rural social fabric, preserved through landmarks such as Mt Lidia Cem, Wesley Chapel, and Poplar Hill Ch. Rising sharply from the river valley, the terrain transitions into the George Washington National Forest, where the Appalachian Trail traverses the heights of Sallings Mountain and the Three Sisters Knobs.
