1894 Map of Staunton

USGS Topo · Published 1900

About this map

Staunton serves as the central hub of this late 19th-century landscape, where the B. & O. R. R., C. & O. R. R., and the N. & W. R. R. converge to move goods through the Shenandoah Valley. The terrain is dominated by the massive profile of Elliott Knob and the Shenandoah Mtns, with the State Line marking the high ridges between Virginia and West Virginia. This era shows a mix of early industrial and resort life, from the Virginia Clay Works and Giant Mills near the rail lines to the mineral waters at Augusta Wh. Sulphur Springs. The distribution of smaller settlements like Churchville and Mt. Solon reflects a valley economy tied closely to the Middle River and its numerous branches, while high gaps such as Buffalo Gap and Briery Branch Gap dictate the historical wagon routes across the mountains.
