USGS Topo · Published 1891About this map
Roanoke serves as a central hub in this late nineteenth-century landscape, where the confluence of the Shenandoah Valley Railroad and Norfolk and Western Railroad drove rapid development. The surrounding Blue Ridge terrain is dotted with industry and institution, notably the Rorer Mines and the Hollins Inst. near Botetourt Sprs.. Beyond the growing rail centers like Vinton and Bonsacks, the map reveals a traditional river economy.
