1939 Map of Waynesboro

About this map

Waynesboro serves as the industrial and transit hub of this Shenandoah Valley landscape, situated where the Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads intersect. The map captures a moment when the regional infrastructure was actively expanding, evidenced by a transmission line and sections of road noted as under construction 1938. This transition point between the valley floor and the Blue Ridge is marked by numerous historic congregational centers such as Old Stone Ch and Tinkling Spring Ch, alongside prominent institutions like the Augusta Military Academy at Fort Defiance.
