1944 Map of Staunton

About this map

Staunton serves as the central hub of this mid-century survey, situated at the confluence of the Chesapeake and Ohio and Norfolk and Western railroads. The map reveals a landscape defined by its valley drainage systems, where Middle River and Christians Creek carve through the limestone-rich terrain. Rural life is anchored by numerous small parishes and meeting houses such as Jerusalem Chapel, Hebron Ch, and Mt Tabor Ch, which dot the surrounding countryside alongside established family-named landmarks like Castle Spr and Cochran Spr.
