1950 Map of Radford
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Claytor Lake dominates the southern landscape of this mid-century survey, its fingers reaching into the surrounding terrain behind the Claytor Dam. To the north, the Radford Arsenal US Military Reservation occupies a massive bend in the New River, illustrating the industrial and military footprint in Pulaski and Montgomery counties. This era shows a well-established transportation network where the Norfolk and Western railway and the Lee Highway intersect near the town of Dublin. Genealogists and local historians can locate smaller communities and landmarks such as Newbern, McAdam, and the County Farm. Numerous rural institutions are documented, including Cecils Chapel Sch and Back Creek Chapel, alongside the high ridges of Walker Mountain and Cloyds Mountain.
