About this map

Montvale serves as the primary settlement hub in this 2011 survey of Bedford County, situated at the confluence of several local routes like Monvale St and Volunteer Rd. The landscape is dominated by the ridges of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with the Blue Ridge Pkwy winding through the high elevations. Notable terrain features including Harveys Knob, Taylors Mountain, and McFalls Mountain define the topography, creating numerous gaps and hollows that historically influenced travel and settlement.

Waterways like the South Fork Goose Creek and North Fork Goose Creek drain the valleys, while specialized land use is evident at the Royal Ambassador Camp and the Bobblets Gap Shelter. Local history enthusiasts can trace the old paths through Iron Mine Hollow Overlooks and examine the rural community of Reba near Hemp Mill Branch, providing a look at the area's development before more modern infrastructure changes.
