1929 Map of Roanoke

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Roanoke valley and its surrounding ridges are meticulously detailed in this survey from the late 1920s. The city center is a dense grid of infrastructure where the Roanoke River meets the heavy rail lines of the Norfolk and Western. To the north, Hollins College stands as a prominent landmark near Hollins, while small agricultural and milling hubs like Amsterdam and Glebe Mills dot the valley floor.
