2019 Map of Lynchburg

About this map

The James River winds through the heart of this Central Virginia landscape, carving a deep valley that defines the industrial and academic character of Lynchburg. By the early 21st century, the city’s complex geography is marked by historic institutions like Randolph College, Lynchburg College, and the Virginia University of Lynchburg. The river's path is punctuated by several islands, including Woodruff Island and Percivals Island, while the urban core is anchored by the Lynchburg Courthouse and the engineered Jefferson Street Tunnel. Significant residential growth is evident in neighborhoods such as Rivermont, Fairview Heights, and West Lynchburg, which are linked by the CSX railroad and major spans like the Carter Glass Bridge. The map preserves the locations of numerous historic burial grounds, from the Old City Cemetery to the Fort Hill Memorial Park Cemetery, offering a detailed record of the city's civic and genealogical footprint.
