1891 Map of Roanoke

USGS Topo · Published 1900

About this map

The Roanoke city core and its surrounding mountain gaps are captured here during a period of rapid iron-fueled growth following the merger of the Shenandoah Valley and Norfolk and Western Railroad. The landscape is dominated by the massive ridge of the Blue Ridge mountains, including the iconic Peaks of Otter and Flat Top. While Roanoke serves as the burgeoning industrial hub, the surrounding counties of Botetourt, Bedford, and Franklin remain a network of rural settlements and family enterprises.
