The academic and cultural core of Lexington is anchored by the historic campuses of the Virginia Military Institute and Washington and Lee Univ, whose grounds and the adjacent VMI Parade occupy the northern heights of the city. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Maury River, which passes through distinctive geography at Horseshoe Bend and beneath the overlook at Lovers Leap. This 2016 survey captures the intersection of academic tradition and the surrounding rural terrain, from the hills of Newtown to the river crossings at Limekiln Bridge.
