1955 Map of South Boston

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

South Boston and New Salem anchor this mid-1950s survey of the wooded hill country along the Washington and Clark county lines. The landscape is defined by the deep dissection of the Blue River and its tributaries, including the Middle Fork and South Fork, which carve through the terrain near high points like Bowers Knob and Williams Knob. Large tracts of the Clark State Forest dominate the eastern and central sections, suggesting a rural economy heavily reliant on timber and small-scale agriculture.
