About this map

Poplar Forest and the surrounding Bedford County landscape appear here in a period of significant residential development west of Lynchburg. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of the Big Otter River and the meandering paths of Buffalo Cr and Elk Cr. Established communities like New London and Bedford Springs are surrounded by a dense network of suburban subdivisions including Timberlake, Wildwood, and Nottingham Forest.

This 2013 survey illustrates the local importance of recreation and infrastructure, featuring the Poplar Forest Golf Course, London Downs Golf Course, and the New London Airport. Smaller water bodies like Old Elkton Lake and Timber Lake serve as focal points for residential clusters. The map captures the transition from larger landholdings to organized neighborhoods like Meadow Wood and Woodlands, while preserving the names of the creeks and runs that have historically shaped this region's topography.
