About this map

Turkey Mtn and Horsley Mountain dominate the central terrain of this Virginia Piedmont landscape, where the Buffalo River and Piney River converge near the border of Amherst and Nelson Counties. The map reveals an industrial and rural economy defined by the Virginia Blue Ridge Railway, which served the local quarries and mines during the early 1960s. Extensive mining operations, including multiple instances of quarries, mine dumps, and a Tailings Pond, cluster around the Piney River settlement, reflecting the area's geological importance.
