1891 Map of Roanoke
USGS Topo · Published 1918About this map
Roanoke serves as the central hub for this late 19th-century survey, positioned where the Roanoke River meets a complex network of ridges and mountain gaps. The map documents a period of industrial activity and established rural infrastructure, evidenced by the Rorer Mines south of the city and the Lynchburg Mines to the northeast. To the north, Fincastle stands as a prominent inland settlement, while the Hollins Inst. Botetourt Sprs marks a significant cultural and geographic landmark.
