2019 Map of Lynchburg West

About this map

Booneville sits at the intersection of Lynchburg Rd and Booneville Rd, serving as a central point in this transition from the ridges of Moore County into the drainage basins of Lincoln County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of hollows, including Possumtrot Hollow, Bagley Hollow, and Mullins Hollow, which channel numerous waterways like the W Fork Mulberry Cr and New Herman Fork. This 2019 survey documents a deeply rooted rural community, marked by dozens of family and church burial grounds such as Old Mount Herman Cem, Lyon Cem, and Baxter Cem. The presence of Mount Herman and New Herman suggests a long history of settlement patterns dictated by the local topography. Further east, the outskirts of Lynchburg appear, featuring the Lynchburg City Cem and Highview Cem near the headwaters of Pitts Br.
