The Great Lakes-to-Florida Highway : A Politics of Road Space in 1920s West Virginia and Virginia

Americans spend much of their lives on highways, yet few understand the complex geographies behind their development.

520 |a Americans spend much of their lives on highways, yet few understand the complex geographies behind their development. Politics, scale, and geographical imagination are indelibly intertwined in the process of boosting and building roads. In recent years, geographers have encouraged research on past mobilities, including road space. This article discusses efforts to link the Great Lakes and Florida through West Virginia and southwestern Virginia during the 1920s, a transitional period in the history of road development when the numbered U.S. Highway System replaced historic-scenic named trails. Southern West Virginia and southwestern Virginia are often considered remote and isolated, but they were viewed as essential links in the Great Lakes-to-Florida Highway and the Cleveland-Marietta-Asheville-Florida Highway.
