1937 Map of Blacksburg
USGS Topo · Published 1937About this map
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and the growing municipality of Blacksburg dominate the northern portion of this 1930s survey, illustrating a region defined by its academic, industrial, and agricultural intersections. The rugged Montgomery County landscape is marked by the presence of both the Norfolk and Western and Virginian railroads, which facilitated the extraction of local resources at sites like the Merrimac Mines and the Arsenic Mine near Huffville. Between the high ridges of Brush Mtn and Paris Mountain, dozens of small schoolhouses and churches, such as the Oak Grove Sch and Fairview Ch, serve a network of rural crossroads.
