1965 Map of Blacksburg

About this map

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University dominates the landscape of Montgomery County in this mid-century survey, showing the campus before its late-20th-century expansion. The transition from the academic core of Blacksburg to the surrounding rural valley is marked by family landmarks and small outposts like Kanodes Mill and Prices Fork. To the south, the industrial and transport corridor between Merrimac and Christiansburg is defined by the Norfolk and Western railway lines and the early development of Vicker Heights.
