1963 Map of City Farm

About this map

Candler Mountain and Jack Mountain dominate the topography south of the Lynchburg city limits, where suburban expansion meets the rural landscape of Campbell County. The southern aviation hub at Lynchburg Municipal Airport Preston Glenn Field serves as a major focal point, while the Southern and Norfolk and Western railroads create industrial corridors through the hills. This 1963 survey, updated with late 1970s development, reveals a landscape in transition as residential subdivisions like Richland Hills and Vista Acres encroach upon older rural settlements such as Lawyers and Bocock. Local history is preserved in numerous family and community landmarks, from the Marsh Memorial Home to the Beulah Cem and Bethlehem Ch. Water bodies such as Timberlake and Rockdale Lake anchor several recreation and residential clusters amidst the network of creeks like Flat Creek and Yellow Branch.
