1891 Map of Roanoke

USGS Topo · Published 1907

About this map

Roanoke serves as the central hub of this late-nineteenth-century survey, where the Norfolk and Western Railroad and the Roanoke Belt Line converge. The landscape is defined by the heavy ridges of Tinker Mountain and the Peaks of Otter, creating a high-relief terrain that dictated early settlement and industry. To the southwest, the Rorer Mines suggest the region's mineral extraction history, while institutions like the Hollins Inst. at Botetourt Sprs. point toward the area's social development.
