About this map

The Norfolk and Western railroad corridor serves as the primary artery through this portion of Bedford County, threading between the northern foothills and the community of Irving. This 1960s landscape is defined by its complex topography, where prominent peaks like Porter Mountain, Bramletts Mtn, and Green Mountain compartmentalize small upland settlements and valley farms. Rural life centers around several established crossroads and spiritual anchors, including the Union Ch, Shady Grove Ch, and Parrier Chapel.

Waterways like Goose Creek and its various tributaries, such as Shackoe Creek and Auger Creek, dictate the movement of local roads and the placement of many nameless Cem plots that dot the hillsides. The southern reaches near Chamblissburg and Flint Hill show a transition toward the Beaverdam Ch area, while industrial presence is noted by a Quarry and a long-distance Pipeline cutting across the northern ridges.
