1946 Map of Lovingston

About this map

Lovingston serves as the focal point for this mid-century study of the Nelson County landscape, where the Blue Ridge Mountains meet the rolling foothills of central Virginia. The terrain is dominated by the George Washington National Forest, with the recently established Blue Ridge Parkway and the Appalachian Trail tracing the high ridges along the western boundary. A dense network of schools and churches, such as the Rockfish Valley High Sch and Mt Zion Ch, indicates a well-established rural community organized around the gaps and hollows of the mountains.
