1965 Map of Boonsboro

About this map

No Business Mountain and Fleming Mountain dominate this mid-century topographic portrait of the area northwest of Lynchburg. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the James River along the northern border, where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad tracks follow the river's path through Coleman Falls. The interior is dotted with rural community life, featuring numerous small congregations like Trinity Ch and Alpha Grove Ch, along with the Eagle Eyrie Va Baptist Assembly perched near the heights of Locke Mtn. The transition from the more developed corridor near the Boonsboro Country Club in the east to the more secluded ridges of Dolly Mountain and Grassy Mountain in the west illustrates the varied geography of the Amherst and Bedford county line during the mid-1960s.
