About this map

Fincastle and the surrounding Blue Ridge foothills are captured in this mid-century topographic record, showing a landscape defined by traditional settlements and emerging regional infrastructure. The Norfolk and Western railway corridor dictates the growth of Troutville and Daleville, while the Appalachian Trail traces the high ridges of Tinker Mountain. The map reveals the critical importance of water management for the Roanoke area, dominated by the Carvin Cove Reservoir and the Roanoke City Water Supply Reservation.

Genealogists can find numerous family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including Glebe Mills, Haymakertown, and churches like Pleasant Hill Ch. The sheet documents the transition from smaller agrarian communities such as Amsterdam to modern developments, including the Lord Botetourt High Sch and a local Golf Course. From the limestone Quarry in the north to the industrial traces at Lone Star, the map provides a look at the county's varied economy before late-century suburbanization.
