1892 Map of Wytheville
USGS Topo · Published 1918About this map
Wytheville serves as the focal point for this survey of Southwest Virginia and Northwest North Carolina, situated along the Norfolk and Western Railroad. The landscape is dominated by the massive ridge systems of the Iron Mountains and Walker Mountain, which hem in a network of valleys defined by the North Fork Holston River and Reed Creek. The region’s early industrial character is visible in the placement of the White Rock Furnace and Speedwell Furnace, marking the importance of local mineral resources during the late nineteenth century.
