1951 Map of Vesuvius

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

The Blue Ridge landscape during the early 1950s is defined by a distinct mix of industrial infrastructure and isolated mountain life. The Norfolk and Western railway corridor serves as a spine for western settlements like Lofton, Vesuvius, and Steeles Tavern, while an Aerial Tramway and Pipeline reflect mid-century utility expansion across the ridges. Higher elevations are characterized by the Big Levels Game Refuge and peaks like The Priest and The Cardinal.
