1892 Map of Harrisonburg

About this map

Harrisonburg and the surrounding Shenandoah Valley are depicted in this reconnaissance survey, conducted just before the turn of the century. The map highlights the early industrial and social landscape of the region, from the Crimora Mine on the western slopes of the Blue Ridge to the University of Virginia Observatory on the eastern edge. A network of rail lines, including the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, connects major regional hubs like Waynesboro and Basic City.
