About this map

Radford sits at the heart of this landscape, its urban grid and the Radford University campus anchored along a dramatic bend in the New River. The river dictates the region's geography, winding through the valley between Walker Mtn and Brush Mtn. This corridor is defined by its industrial and institutional footprint, including the expansive Radford AAP facility and critical transportation links like the Southwest Virginia Memorial Bridge and rail tunnels such as Pepper Tunnel and Milletts Tunnel.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of community landmarks. Numerous burial grounds are mapped, including Wake Forest Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and the New River Cem. Beyond the city limits, the terrain transitions into the Jefferson National Forest, where smaller settlements like McCoy, Wake Forest, and Whitethorne maintain their distinct positions along the river's northern banks.
