About this map

Staunton and its surrounding independent city landscape are anchored by the historic campus of Mary Baldwin College and the prominent civic architecture of the George M Cochran Judicial Center. The 2019 topography reveals a transition from the urban density of neighborhoods like Selma and West End to the outlying agricultural and residential patterns of Verona and Annex. The influence of early industry is still visible in the naming of rural crossroads such as Franks Mill and Quicks Mill along the Middle River.

Genealogists and local historians can trace significant burial grounds, including the expansive Thornrose Cem, Fairview Cem, and the Western State Hospital Cem. The southern skyline is dominated by the twin peaks of Betsey Bell and Mary Gray, providing a natural counterpoint to the developed corridors of Skymont and College Park. Significant landmarks like the Oak Lawn Mausoleum and Memory Gardens further define the spiritual and historical geography of this Shenandoah Valley hub.
