1967 Map of Bedford

About this map

Bedford serves as a central hub in this late 1960s landscape, where the Norfolk and Western railroad corridor dictates the path of industrial and residential growth. This survey, updated with mid-1980s data, illustrates the transition from the concentrated urban core near the Courthouse and Armory to the more rural, creek-carved surroundings. Community infrastructure is well-defined, ranging from the Susie Gibson High Sch and County Memorial Hospital to smaller outlying settlements like Thaxton and Joppa Mill.
