1950 Map of Vesuvius

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Big Levels Game Refuge dominates the high ground of the Blue Ridge, where the boundaries of Augusta, Rockbridge, and Nelson counties converge. This mid-century landscape is defined by the coexistence of protected wilderness and specialized rural institutions, such as the State Prison Camp No 10 near Greenville. The era’s transportation network is anchored by the Lee Highway and the Norfolk and Western railroad corridor, facilitating movement through valley settlements like Steeles Tavern and Vesuvius.
