1950 Map of Goode

About this map

The rolling Piedmont landscape of Bedford County and Campbell County is defined here by the crossing of the Norfolk and Western railway and a dense network of historic community landmarks. Poplar Forest stands as a primary feature in the east, while the New London Academy highlights the institutional history of the New London area. The topography is anchored by No Business Mountain and Fleming Mountain in the north, with the Big Otter River and Elk Creek draining the southern valleys. Dozens of rural churches and schools, such as Timber Ridge Ch and Hutter Sch, appear alongside small settlements like Goode and Lowry, documenting the social fabric of mid-century central Virginia before modern suburban expansion transformed the outskirts of the nearby city.
