1967 Map of Irving

About this map

The Norfolk and Western railway corridor defines the northern topography of this region, passing through the settlement of Irving and bridging Goose Creek. To the south, the landscape rises into a series of prominent peaks including Porter Mountain, High Knob, and Bramletts Mtn. This 1967 survey reveals a rural network of small communities and crossroads like Chamblissburg, Shady Grove, and Bore, many of which are anchored by local congregations such as Parrish Chapel and New Hope Ch. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Reed Creek and Shoehoe Creek feeding the larger Goose Creek basin. A notable industrial presence is found near the southern border at a Quarry located near Rocky Branch, indicating the local extraction activity in this part of Bedford County.
