About this map

The James River dominates the northern reaches of this coastal Virginia landscape, where a Steamboat Route connects prominent riverside terminals like Claremont Wharf and Cobham Wharf. Inland, the economy of the early twentieth century is clearly defined by the Surry Lumber RR, which snakes through the swampy lowlands to support the region's timber industry. Major settlements including Surry and the industrial hub of Dendron serve as anchors for a dense network of rural infrastructure, including the Old Courthouse and numerous family-named landmarks like Blizzards Corners.
