About this map

Fincastle and the surrounding Botetourt County landscape are defined by the convergence of the Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains in the early 1960s. The area maintains a strong agricultural and small-settlement character, with older communities like Amsterdam and Haymakertown situated amongst a network of creeks and ridges. The Norfolk and Western railroad corridor anchors the eastern valley, connecting Troutville and Daleville.

Industry and recreation intersect at the Carvin Cove Reservoir, which serves as the Roanoke Water Supply Reservation, while the Appalachian Trail winds along the spine of Tinker Mountain. Local history is preserved in landmarks such as Glebe Mills and numerous rural houses of worship, including Pleasant Hill Ch and Mt Union. The presence of the Lord Botetourt High Sch near Daleville signals the mid-century consolidation of local education as the region's population began to shift.
