Roanoke and the neighboring community of Vinton occupy the valley floor between the prominent ridges of Tinker Mtn and Mill Mtn. The 2019 landscape reveals a dense network of infrastructure centered on the Norfolk and Western Ry and the Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport/Woodrum Field. This modern survey highlights the civic heart of the area, including the Roanoke City Courthouse and Roanoke City Hall, while preserving numerous legacy landmarks essential for local history. Several historic burial sites, such as Old Lick Cem and the Jonathan Tosh Cem, are documented alongside major educational institutions like Hollins University. The topographic data captures the complex drainage of the Roanoke River and its tributaries like Lick Run and Tinker Creek as they wind through the urban and suburban sprawl of Hollins and Riverdale.
