1895 Map of Palmyra
USGS Topo · Published 1895About this map
Palmyra and the winding Rivanna River anchor this late 19th-century study of central Virginia, where the river-and-rail economy of the James River valley is clearly visible. The Richmond and Alleghany Railroad follows the northern bank of the James, connecting river towns like Scottsville, Bremo, and Columbia. This landscape is defined by its water-powered industry and mineral extraction, evidenced by the Arvon Slate Quarry near New Canton and a network of rural mills including Flanagan Mill, Trenton Mills, and Aldridge Mill.
