1941 Map of Vesuvius

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

Steeles Tavern and Vesuvius anchor the western valley floor where the Norfolk and Western and Baltimore and Ohio railroads parallel the Lee Highway. This 1930s-era survey reveals a landscape of transition, where established settlements like Greenville and Raphine give way to the rising elevations of the Blue Ridge. The ridge itself is a hub of early 20th-century development, featuring the recently established Blue Ridge Parkway and the Appalachian Trail winding through high gaps.
