1986 Map of Staunton

About this map

Staunton serves as the eastern anchor of this mid-1980s map, where the city's institutional history is marked by Mary Baldwin College and the Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of Shenandoah Mountain and Great North Mountain, creating a natural barrier that funnelled early migration and transport along the valleys. Small highland settlements like Monterey and McDowell remain distinct within the George Washington National Forest, while the western edge reaches into West Virginia toward Green Bank and the Cass Scenic Railroad State Park. The region's thermal springs economy is evident in Warm Springs and Hot Springs, connected by the winding path of State Route 220. Deep rail heritage is visible in the routes of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad and the Norfolk and Western Railroad, which follow the river gaps and limestone valleys of Augusta County.
