This map was drawn by James Raymond Hildebrand (1896-1980), a native of Augusta County, Virginia, and member of the Class of 1919 at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. He served the city of Roanoke first as assistant city engineer and then as the city’s first planning engineer. He was a noted map maker, whose work was based on his extensive research into land records and historical maps, particularly that of the 18th century settlement of the Upper Shenandoah, James, and Roanoke Rivers.
