1947 Map of Staunton

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Staunton serves as the central hub for this mid-century survey of the Shenandoah Valley, where the convergence of the Chesapeake and Ohio, Baltimore and Ohio, and Norfolk and Western railroads illustrates the city's role as a vital transportation node. The landscape is dotted with numerous rural congregations and burying grounds, such as Jerusalem Chapel, Hebron Ch, and the Glebe Cem, reflecting a deeply rooted community structure. Industrial relics like Trimbles Mill and Folly Mills sit along the winding watercourses of the Middle River and South River, showing the legacy of water-powered commerce in Augusta County. From the heights of Little North Mountain and Crawford Knob down to the settlements of Swoope and Greenville, the map provides an intricate look at the post-war valley before the expansion of the modern interstate system, maintaining a high density of named family-led landmarks and local schools like College Park.
