The Roanoke River valley serves as the industrial and transportation heart of this region, anchored by the extensive Norfolk and Western railyards and the Roanoke Regional Airport (Woodrum Field). The 1960s landscape is defined by a dense network of neighborhoods and civic landmarks, from the academic grounds of Hollins College in the north to Victory Stadium and the Municipal Buildings downtown. Topographical diversity is provided by the surrounding heights of Read Mountain and Mill Mountain, while the Carvin Cove Reservoir and Tinker Creek manage the area's water resources.
