Pre-30s Geo Survey Topo Map of Clifton Forge and Covington area

al.kresse <water.kresse@...> #100343 I'm looking for a pre-CCC projects Geo Survey Topo maps of the Backbone-Covington-Potts Creek - Rich Patch-Clifton Forge, Virginia area before all the work projects turned old railroad roadbeds into local roads or fire trails. That whole area should be a maze of mine or furnace trackbeds. Blast furnaces closed in the teens and twenties, but their iron ore mines stayed open longer. The quadrant should break right around Low Moor between Covington and Clifton Forge. WE have an 1894 topo map of Clifton Forge east almost to Goshen and down to Glenn Wilton. Thanks, Al Kresse

water.kresse@... #100352 Rich, Many thanks! Do you know what dpi they have scanned them at? MyTopo is marginal: OK for a PPT presentation, but leaves a little to be desired for an article image.

SUVCWORR@... #100354 Al, Don't know for sure. My guess would be no more than 300 dpi. The files are big enough to be much more than that.

IIRC, I found some 1920-era topos on this site a while back. http://data.geocomm.com/catalog/US/61079/1516/group4-3.html David Thompson

Eric Hansmann #100366 Al, Have you tried the Virginia Department of Mines? http://www.dmme.virginia.gov/divisionmineralresources.shtml Several years ago I needed an old topo of the Elkins, West Virginia area. I called the West Virginia Geological Survey and obtained a reprint of an early 1920s topo that fit my needs. Just thought there should be something similar in East Virginia.
