This is a 3-D model of the Natural Bridge. You can spin it around and zoom in.

The blue line is the Cedar Creek which flows into the James River further south.

The blue marker shows where the Natural Bridge is located.

Created with 3-D Mapper.

This is an old Flash activity about how the Natural Bridge may have formed. We got it to work using Ruffle!
