2022 Map of Irving

About this map

Chamblissburg and Irving anchor this survey of Bedford County, where the topography is defined by prominent peaks like Porter Mtn and Thaxton Mtn. The landscape is a network of ridges and watercourses, including the headwaters of Goose Creek and its many tributaries such as Enochs Cr and Bore Auger Cr. Historically significant transport routes cross the northern terrain, most notably the W Lynchburg Salem Tpke, which runs parallel to US Hwy 221 460. Small communities and family landmarks are scattered throughout the valleys, providing essential locations for genealogical research. Local history is preserved at sites like Tate Cem near the eastern border and New Hope Cem further south. The map illustrates a rural Virginia landscape where development remains concentrated along established road corridors like Stewartsville Rd, while the higher elevations of Bramletts Mtn and Peach Orchard Mtn remain largely undeveloped.
