About this map

The Little Otter River and Big Otter River define the undulating landscape of this central Virginia quadrangle. As of 2016, the area is anchored by the historic town of Bedford to the west and the rural community of Goode to the east. The terrain is characterized by rolling ridges like Hawk Ridge and prominent elevations such as Otter Hill, which provide a backdrop for the local aviation infrastructure at Miller Airport and Hawk Ridge Airport.

This map reveals a dense network of secondary roads that cross multiple tributaries, including Machine Creek, Falling Creek, and Elk Creek. The presence of the Falling Creek Reservoir and smaller features like Markham Pond highlight the importance of water management in this agricultural and residential corridor between Lynchburg and Roanoke. Small settlements like Lowry and Centerville appear as established focal points within this Piedmont landscape, while numerous family-named landmarks and routes suggest deep local genealogical roots.
