1932 Map of Blacksburg

Southward, the map details a rural economy of small schools and local landmarks, from the Arsenic Mine near Huffville to the quiet presence of Yellow Sulphur Springs. The drainage patterns of the North Fork Roanoke River and Little River carve through high points such as Brush Mtn and Paris Mountain. This record is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it meticulously labels numerous country churches and one-room schoolhouses like Childress Sch and Sidney Ch that served these isolated valley communities.
