Additional Description: Informational marker beside the historical marker.
You are in the New River watershed. This 320 mile river is the main stem of a 7,000 square mile watershed that starts in the western mountains of North Carolina, runs north through Virginia, and then into West Virginia. The National Park and Preserve section of this watershed is only a small portion. Everywhere you go you are in a watershed. How do your actions impact it?
