1894 Map of Lexington

USGS Topo · Published 1914

About this map

The James River carves a deep path through this Central Virginia landscape, serving as a primary corridor for 19th-century transport and industry. The topography is dominated by parallel ridges like Little North Mtn. and Tobacco Row Mtn., which dictated the placement of early settlements and rail lines. Notable river crossings such as Echols Ferry (Glasgow) Balcony Falls and Rope Ferry (Snowden P.O.) illustrate the importance of water-bound commerce before the full dominance of the railroads.
