About this map

Bristol straddles the state line in this 1938 survey, revealing a landscape defined by collegiate institutions and significant transportation infrastructure. The map documents the urban development of the twin cities, anchored by Sullins College, Virginia Intermont College, and King College. Industry and commerce are evident in the presence of the Beidleman Mill, Ratledge Store, and a Barite mine. The transit network is particularly dense, showing the Southern and Norfolk And Western railroad corridors alongside the prominent Lee Highway.
