1965 Map of Forest
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
New London Academy stands as a focal point in this region along the Bedford and Campbell County line, reflecting a landscape defined by education and religious community. The map details a transition from the historic Poplar Forest and New London areas toward growing residential clusters like Timberlake. This mid-1960s perspective captures a unique combination of rural heritage and modern recreation, evidenced by the New London Drag Strip and Airport and a Rodeo Arena situated among several active quarries. Transport infrastructure is anchored by the Norfolk and Western and Southern railroads, which parallel the watercourses of Elk Creek and Buffalo Creek. The high concentration of local houses of worship, such as St Pauls Ch and Pisgah Ch, provides essential points of reference for genealogists tracking family ties in the Virginia Piedmont.
