That looks perfect.
Should I credit the N&W Historical Society?

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.
