USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
Turner Mountain and Findlay Mountain dominate the central terrain of Nelson County, where the James River carves a winding path along the southeastern border. This 1960s landscape shows the transition from the high ridges of the Piney River Blue Ridge to the alluvial flats near Gladstone. The rail-dependent economy of the era is evident in the parallel routes of the Southern and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads, which linked small rural hubs like Shipman, Arrington, and Tye River.
