Antique Roanoke, Virginia 1929 US Geological Survey Topographic Map – Blue Ridge, Vinton, Fincastle, Webster, store Cloverdale, Carvin Cove, VA
Beautiful, antique map of Roanoke, Virginia and Botetourt County, including Carvin Cove before the reservoir was built. This is an authentic 1929 edition, 1958 print from the U.S. Geological Survey and NOT a computer reproduction.
See what Roanoke and the Blue Ridge Mountains looked like over 90 years ago. Lots of intricate details and geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then!
Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.
