Census location doesn't match actual document
As you can see for the above record at United States Census, 1860, - Barbour County, Virginia: Barbour. Census 1860 • FamilySearch
FamilySearch identifies the census record as belonging to Barbour County, Virginia, but the census clearly states that it is for Bath county.

Unfortunately, the Images section's cataloging data continues to be an utter farce, and even more unfortunately, the new image-editor-and-viewer uses that section's image identifications. If you go back to the old image viewer by deleting the question mark and everything after it from the URL (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GBSN-9HTG), then you get the waypointed collection's breadcrumbs, with the correct county.
