2016 Map of Lynchburg

About this map

The James River defines the geography of this mid-2010s survey, winding between Madison Heights and the central city of Lynchburg. The map reveals a landscape densely packed with institutional and civic history, from Randolph Coll and Lynchburg Coll to the sprawling grounds of the Virginia Univ of Lynchburg. Genealogists will find a concentration of significant burial grounds, including the Old City Cem, Spring Hill Cem, and Presbyterian Cem, which reflect the city's long-established residential patterns. The river itself is punctuated by major crossings such as the Carter Glass Bridge and a series of islands like Treasure Island and Percivals Island. To the west, the transition from urban neighborhoods like Dearington and Fort Hill into the suburbs of Blue Ridge Farms and Forest Hill illustrates the modern footprint of this regional hub.
