1967 Map of Lovingston

About this map

Lovingston serves as a primary anchor in this Piedmont landscape, situated among a network of prominent ridges and deep hollows. The Rockfish River winds through the northern and eastern sections of the quadrangle, where historic river-crossings like Gullysville Ford and the Stage Bridge once facilitated movement. This 1960s survey, later updated with photorevisions, documents the traditional settlement patterns along Telephone Road and the Old Stage Road. The map preserves the locations of local industry and social centers, including Lawhorne Mill and rural congregations such as Cedar Grove Ch and Ebenezer Ch. Significant topographic landmarks like Sugarloaf Mtn and Diggs Mountain dominate the terrain, while the Southern Railway Grade follows the watercourses through the southern valleys near Elma.
