Abstract
This collection of topographical maps was separated from the J. Ambler Johnston Papers (Ms1974-012). The set is comprised of 52 individually titled maps, arranged in alphabetical order, each map (with the exception of the Christiansburg map, which may not be part of the original set) bearing a penciled-in number that coincides with its sequence in the alphabetical arrangement. The maps represent editions dating between 1891 and 1966, referring to surveys performed between 1883 and 1966. Missing are maps from an area between Floyd and Norfolk, along the North Carolina border. It is possible that other maps are missing as well. The reverse of each map contains information about topographical maps, as well as symbols used in the maps. The map for Norfolk is twice the size of the rest of the maps.
