1972 Map of Waynesboro East

About this map

The city of Waynesboro sits at the foot of the Blue Ridge in this 1972 orthophotoquad, which utilizes aerial photography to reveal the precise textures of the Virginian landscape. The imagery captures a critical moment of expansion as the urban footprint of the city pushes eastward toward the rising slopes of the mountains. Beyond the developed streets, the photograph shows the intricate patchwork of agriculture and timber lots that once dominated the approaches to the gap.
