1892 Map of Wytheville
USGS Topo · Published 1927About this map
Wytheville serves as the focal point of this late 19th-century reconnaissance, situated along the corridor of the Norfolk and Western Railroad. The landscape is defined by the sharp ridges of Walker Mountain and Lick Mountain, with industrial history evident in the numerous iron works such as White Rock Furnace, Speedwell Furnace, and Eagle Furnace. These furnace sites, coupled with multiple water-powered operations like Tilson Mill and Kent Mill, reflect an era of localized resource extraction and processing common to Southwest Virginia before the turn of the century.
