1894 Map of Natural Bridge

USGS Topo · Published 1926

About this map

The James River and Jackson River carve through the deep ridges of the Alleghenies in this late 19th-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by heavy industry and river-crossings. The region was a hub for iron production, evidenced by the scattered locations of the Calle Furnace, Glen Wilton Princess Furnace, and Long Dale Furnace. These industrial sites relied on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad and the Richmond and Alleghany Railroad to transport materials through narrow gaps in the mountains.
