The lines of the Richmond and Louisville Railroad are boldly shown in red overprinting stretching from Norfolk to Louisville, while other major lines are colored in blue. In southwest Virginia and eastern Kentucky, natural resources are identified and located including iron, coal, copper, salt, and timber. Original wooden rollers are present and attached.
