1998 Map of Narrows
USGS Topo · Published 2000About this map
The New River carves a deep path through the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia, meeting the northern reach of Bluestone Lake at a dramatic bend. The town of Narrows serves as a focal point for regional transportation, situated where the Norfolk and Western railway and highway networks converge along the riverbanks. Steep ridges including Peters Mountain and East River Mountain frame the river valley, while the Appalachian Scenic Trail traverses the high ground of the Jefferson National Forest. Family and community history is anchored in local landmarks such as Cedar Grove Ch, Shumate, and numerous burial sites including Woolwine Cem and Day Cem. The map illustrates the 1990s character of the region, where industrial features like the Gaging Station and various quarries operate alongside the natural wonder of Starnes Cavern.
