About this map

Bedford serves as the focal point of this Central Virginia landscape, showing the city's infrastructure and community institutions during a period of late-1960s development and 1970s updates. The city is detailed with landmarks such as the Courthouse, Armory, and the County Memorial Hospital, while the surrounding rural terrain is defined by its educational and spiritual centers like the Susie Gibson High Sch and Lovely Zion Ch.

Outside the city limits, the Norfolk and Western railroad corridor anchors the small community of Thaxton, where the Thaxton Sch and Epworth Ch stand near the base of Cobbs Mountain. Waterways like the Little Otter River and Goose Creek wind through a landscape dotted with numerous unnamed family cemeteries and historical sites like Joppa Mill, reflecting the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the county before modern expansion.
