About this map

Lynchburg serves as the central hub of this late 19th-century survey, positioned where the James River meets a growing network of heavy rail lines including the C & O R.R. and the Norfolk and Western Rail Road. The surrounding landscape across Campbell, Bedford, and Amherst counties reveals a river-dependent economy in transition, where essential water crossings like Wards Road Ferry and Millers Ford still provided vital links between rural settlements.
