About this map

Roanoke and its neighboring communities of Vinton and Hollins are depicted here in a modern landscape defined by intense infrastructure and historical preservation. The area is anchored by major transportation and educational hubs, including the Roanoke/Blacksburg Regional Airport (Woodrum Field) and the campus of Hollins University. Significant urban development is balanced by protected green spaces and cemeteries that trace the region's lineage, such as the Springwood Burial Park, Old Lick Cem, and Evergreen Cem.

The geography is framed by the drainage of Tinker Creek and Lick Run into the Roanoke River, with the industrial presence of the Norfolk Southern railroad corridors remaining a primary feature of the valley floor. Recreational and preservation interests are evident in the Lick Run Greenway Trl and the proximity of the Blue Ridge Parkway, which skirts the eastern edge of the quadrangle near Niagara.
