1894 Map of Lexington

USGS Topo · Published 1907

About this map

Rockbridge Baths and Vesuvius highlight the diverse settlement patterns of the Blue Ridge foothills during this late nineteenth-century survey. The landscape is defined by the steep ridges of Tobacco Row Mt and Sallings Mtn, with narrow gaps and ferries providing critical passage. Transportation and commerce are centered on the James River corridor, featuring the Rope Ferry Snowden P.O. and Waughes Ford. Industrial and local community markers such as Chalk Mine Mt, Massies Mill, and Cornerstone Ch offer a detailed view of rural Virginia life before the advent of modern highways. The mapping of Amherst Station and the Richmond and Danville railroad tracks the vital connection between these highland communities and the wider regional economy.
