1967 Map of Moneta

About this map

Goose Creek winds through the heart of this Bedford County landscape, flanked by the prominent rise of Stone Mountain. In the late 1960s, the area's rural character was defined by small clusters of activity like Moneta and Body Camp, where local life centered around institutions such as Body Camp School and several country churches including Bethlehem Ch and Promised Land Ch. The Norfolk and Western railroad corridor cuts across the terrain, passing through Moneta and south toward the Staunton River. Significant local landmarks are grounded in the community's infrastructure, from the Prison Camp No 24 near Radford to the Staunton River High School in the northwest. Numerous cemeteries and small creek branches like Difficult Creek and Rockcastle Creek offer specific coordinates for genealogical research in this Piedmont region.
