About this map

Iron production and mineral springs define the landscape of the central Appalachian ridges in the late nineteenth century. Industrial landmarks like Long Dale Furnace, Glen Wilton Furnace, and Salisbury Furnace sit near the steep slopes of Rich Patch Mtn and North Mountain, where the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad follows the winding path of the Jackson River and James River. These rivers served as critical corridors for the movement of pig iron and ore from sites like the Victoria Mines.
