1966 Map of Lynch Station

About this map

The Southern railway line serves as a central artery through this rural landscape, connecting the settlements of Lynch Station and Evington. Situated between the Big Otter River and the Roanoke River, the terrain is defined by its numerous small valleys carved by Mill Creek and Johnson Creek. The map reveals a dense network of country churches that anchored community life in the mid-1960s, including Mt Pisgah Ch, Good Shepherd Ch, and Mt Hermon Ch. Mineral extraction activity is evident from the Mines located near Flat Creek, while higher elevations like Johnson Mountain are marked by communication infrastructure, including a Radio Tower (WLVA). Near the southern boundary, the confluence of the Southern and Norfolk and Western railroads highlights the region's historic role as a transportation corridor between Campbell and Pittsylvania counties.
