1967 Map of Lexington

About this map

Lexington serves as the focal point of this 1960s survey, illustrating the dense concentration of civic and educational institutions that define this Virginia community. The footprint of Washington & Lee University and the Virginia Military Institute dominate the northern part of the city, while the downtown core is clearly mapped with its Courthouse, City Hall, Library, and Post Office. Beyond the urban center, the landscape transitions into the river valleys of the Maury River and South River, where the rail corridors of the Chesapeake and Ohio weave through the terrain. Cultural and local history landmarks appear throughout the surrounding countryside, including the Old Monmouth Cem and New Monmouth Ch. Transportation infrastructure like the Landing Strip and a Drive-in Theater reflect mid-century rural development in Rockbridge County.
