1934 Map of Waynesboro

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Waynesboro serves as a vital junction in the Shenandoah Valley during the early 1930s, where the Chesapeake and Ohio and Norfolk and Western railroads intersect near the South River. The landscape transitions from the agrarian valley floor, dotted with local landmarks like the Augusta Military Academy at Port Defiance and the District Home, into the rising elevations of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Transportation engineering is prominently displayed through the Blue Ridge Tunnel and Brookville Tunnel at Afton, alongside the winding path of Skyline Drive as it begins to trace the ridge. Small communities such as Fishersville, New Hope, and Crimora anchor the rural districts, supported by a network of one-room schools like Middle Grove Sch and Burren Ridge Sch. Recreational and civic growth is visible in the presence of the Swannanoa Club and an early Landing Field, reflecting the area's development before the mid-century expansion.
