1894 Map of Lexington

USGS Topo · Published 1923

About this map

The Maury River and James River converge in this late nineteenth-century study of the Blue Ridge foothills, where early industrial sites and mountain gaps defined the movement of goods and people. At the southern edge of the sheet, Rope Ferry (Snowden P.O.) and Big Island mark critical crossing points along the river corridor, while the Richmond and Alleghany R.R. follows the water's path through the mountains. Further north, the landscape is dotted with small industrial and agricultural centers like Buffalo Forge and Buffalo Mills, which relied on the numerous creeks draining the eastern slopes of the range.
