USGS Topo · Published 1891About this map
The New River corridor serves as the primary artery of commerce and industry in this late 19th-century survey, dominated by the winding path of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. Along the steep river banks, small settlements like Quinnimont, Sewell, and Prince Station signify the coal and timber transport points that fueled the regional economy. Engineering feats of the era are clearly marked, including the Stretchers Neck Tunnel near Blockston.
