1894 Map of Staunton

USGS Topo · Published 1913

About this map

Staunton serves as the bustling valley hub for a landscape defined by the convergence of major mountain ranges and rail lines during the late nineteenth century. The survey illustrates a complex network of transportation and early industry, featuring the B & O R R, C & O R R, and the Shenandoah and Roanoke Div of the N & W R R. These railroads navigate the gaps between massive ridges like North Mountain and Crawford Mountain, connecting remote outposts like Ferrol and Swoope to the regional market center. To the west, the terrain rises sharply toward Elliott Knob, while the valley floor is dotted with small agrarian and milling communities such as Giant Mills, Milnesville, and Stuart Draft. The map captures the intricate drainage patterns of the Middle River and Dry River before the modernization of the Virginia backcountry, preserving the location of family-named landmarks and old crossroads like Parnassus and Arbor Hill.
