1963 Map of Piney River

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Piney River and the Buffalo River carve through the foothills of the George Washington National Forest in this 1963 survey of the Amherst and Nelson County border. The landscape is defined by a rural economy of small community hubs and extractive industry, notably the numerous quarries, mine dumps, and a tailings pond clustered near the Piney River settlement. Transportation relies on the winding tracks of the Blue Ridge Railway and remnants of earlier infrastructure like the Old RR Grade near Thompson Mtn.
