1944 Map of Lynchburg

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Lynchburg and its surrounding heights dominate this mid-century landscape, positioned at a critical junction of the James River and several major rail lines. The city’s academic and industrial foundations are clearly visible, from the campuses of Randolph Macon Womens College and Lynchburg College to the Quarry and Reusens Dam. Moving east across the river into Madison Heights and south toward the county seat of Rustburg, the terrain shifts into a complex network of ridges like Jack Mountain and small agricultural communities. This era captures the region's diverse infrastructure, including Preston Glenn Airport and a wealth of local landmarks such as Oxford Furnace and the Rosenwald Sch, reflecting the deep social and economic layers of central Virginia during the post-war transition.
