1932 Map of Salem

USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

Salem sits at the heart of this valley landscape, where the Roanoke River and the Norfolk and Western railway follow the natural corridor between the ridges of the Blue Ridge and Appalachian mountains. The survey captures the region during a period of transition, documented in the late 1920s, showing the concentrated development of Edgewood and Sunset Village near the city, while the surrounding hills remain dotted with small rural institutions like Shiloh Ch, Gum Springs Sch, and Webbs Mill.
