1937 Map of Lexington

About this map

Lexington stands as the cultural and geographic center of this Rockbridge County landscape, where the North River meets Woods Creek. In the mid-1930s, the region was defined by a dense network of rural infrastructure, from the Limerik Bridge to numerous neighborhood institutions like Timber Ridge Ch and Monmouth Sch. The industrial and agricultural heritage of the Shenandoah Valley is visible in features such as McClung Mill and the convergence of major rail lines, including the Chesapeake and Ohio RR and the Baltimore and Ohio RR.
