1937 Map of Lexington

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The town of Lexington serves as the focal point for this survey of the central Shenandoah Valley, where the Maury River carves a winding path through the landscape. This era highlights a robust network of small rural schools and local industry, from the Alone Mill Sch to the Big Spring Mill. The confluence of transportation and terrain is evident where the Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads parallel the river valleys, connecting established settlements like Goshen and Buena Vista with outlying communities such as Rockbridge Baths and Bustleburg.
