2013 Map of Goodview

About this map

Smith Mountain Lake dominates the southern portion of this landscape, its intricate shoreline carving deep into the terrain around Cape Carlyn and Beechwood Shores. This modern survey illustrates the significant residential development along the water's edge, contrasting with the more traditional rural patterns found near Goodview and Meador to the north. The area's history is marked by historical river crossings along the Roanoke River, including Carters Island Ford, Turners Ford, and the site of the modern Hales Ford Bridge. Prominent elevations such as Board Mountain, Kasey Mountain, and Mead Mountain rise above the network of creeks—including Stony Fork and Jumping Run—that feed the lake. The map details a transition from high-country ridges to the modern recreational and residential community centered around the impounded waters.
