About this map

The Virginia Polytechnic Institute grounds and the developing town of Blacksburg define the northern landscape of this early 1930s survey. As a major regional hub, Christiansburg sits central to a network of infrastructure including the Virginia Railway and Norfolk and Western Railway, which served the local extractive economy at Merrimac Mines and the Arsenic Mines to the southeast. The map reveals a dense rural social fabric, marked by numerous educational and religious centers such as the Christiansburg Industrial Sch and Mt Tabor Ch.
