Roanoke and its surrounding communities in the mid-1960s reveal a landscape in the midst of post-war expansion. The pink and purple urban tints reflect the growth of neighborhoods around the Roanoke River and Tinker Creek, reaching toward Vinton and Hollins. The infrastructure of the era is prominently displayed, from the Roanoke Municipal Airport (Woodrum Field) to the extensive rail networks of the Norfolk and Western.
