1965 Map of Goode

About this map

The Big Otter River and its many tributaries, including the Little Otter River and Elk Creek, define the rolling landscape of eastern Bedford County during the mid-1960s. This survey documents a rural corridor transitioning with new infrastructure, such as the Sewage Disposal Pond and Trailer Park near Centerville, while maintaining its traditional foundations. The Norfolk and Western railway remains a central artery, passing through the settlements of Lowry and Goode. An intriguing local landmark is the Old Railroad Grade north of Johns Creek, pointing to earlier transport routes that preceded the modern rail alignment.
