About this map

Staunton and its northern outskirts in Augusta County are shown here as the city evolved in the late 20th century. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Middle River and several prominent institutions that shaped the local identity, including the State School for Deaf and Blind and Mary Baldwin College. The urban core is surrounded by historic neighborhoods like Selma and West End, while industrial and logistical hubs such as Verona expand to the northeast along the CSX Transportation rail corridor.

Prominent landmarks such as the Woodrow Wilson Birthplace and Staunton National Cem reflect the area's deep historical roots. Beyond the city limits, the terrain transitions into a mix of rural settlements and family-named features like Franks Mill and Quicks Mill. The presence of large facilities like Western State Hospital and De Jarnette State Sanatorium illustrates the long-standing role of the region as a center for healthcare and education in the Shenandoah Valley.
