looking for a map

Sat Sep 11 10:52:19 EDT 2021

Well, technically I scanned it from an N&W employee timetable that I bought on eBay, not from the archives. So possibly the credit should go to the N&W. But since this exchange of information was conducted through the society I’m ok with the society getting the credit.

Perhaps the editors and writers on the list that are more knowledgeable of such things could better direct where the credit should go.

That looks perfect. 

Should I credit the N&W Historical Society?

The N&W employee timetables from the 1970s (for example) include a simple map of nothing but the railroad for the division covered by the timetable.

Thanks for writing, Bruce.  

I’m looking for a map that’s “clean”…the VDOT county maps have too may lines on them to work in a video where the viewer has a limited time digest the map. I’ve used VDOT county maps before, but spent too much time erasing confusing roads. Likewise, the USGS maps are packed with data. I wish I had a sample of the type of map I’m looking for to show here. The map should show the railroad. I thought the N&W archives might have something railroad oriented. I will highlight locations on the map that correspond the the video locations.

I am re-editing a video I shot of 1218 in April, 1987. I’d like to include a map to better orient folks not familiar with Southwest Virginia geography.

Can you point me to a public domain map that includes, at minimum, the area from Lafayette (west of Salem), VA to Glen Lyn, VA?

Not sure what type of map you are looking for, but you can get county maps from VDOT at https://www.virginiadot.org/travel/county_maps.asp They are in PDF format. You can download PDF topo maps from https://store.usgs.gov/map-locator You can also get historical topo maps from the US Geological Survey at https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/topoexplorer/index.html
