USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The New River carves a deep path through the ridge-and-valley landscape of Giles Co, Virginia, and Mercer Co, West Virginia, where industrial infrastructure meets mountain wilderness. The town of Narrows serves as a focal point for the Norfolk and Western railroad, which follows the river's winding course alongside the Bluestone Reservoir. Small agrarian and mountain settlements like Shumate, Bluff City, and Thessalia are scattered throughout the valleys of Wolf Creek and Sugar Run.
