About this map

Lynchburg and its surrounding neighborhoods are defined by the winding course of the James River, which serves as a natural boundary between Amherst Co and Bedford Co. The terrain is marked by several significant river islands, including Chestnut Island, Woodruff Island, and Percivals Island, while the urban landscape is shaped by the steep hills that host the city's historic core. Education and civic life are prominent, with the campuses of Randolph College, the University of Lynchburg, and Virginia University of Lynchburg established across different districts.

Genealogists and historians will find a dense concentration of burial sites, ranging from the Old City Cem near the downtown area to the Presbyterian Cem and Spring Hill Cem further south. The city's growth is reflected in the layout of established neighborhoods like Rivermont, Dearington, and Fairview Heights, all connected by major thoroughfares such as the Lynchburg Expy and the scenic Virginia Byway.
