About this map

Coyner Mountain and the Blue Ridge Parkway dominate the western terrain of this Virginia quadrangle, where modern suburban development meets the older rural bones of Roanoke and Bedford Counties. The landscape is dotted with small residential communities such as Laymantown, Rainbow Forest, and Bonsack, alongside industrial markers like the Norfolk and Western railway. Notable water management features include the Beaverdam Reservoir and Falling Creek Reservoir, which sit among the various knobs and mountains that define the local relief.

For family historians, the map is particularly useful for locating numerous small burial sites. Small graveyards like Saint Clair Cemetery, Foutz Cemetery, and the Waldron Cemetery are scattered throughout the hills, providing a geographical record of local lineage. The southern edge is defined by the Roanoke River and the Niagara Dam, illustrating how the waterway shaped the boundary of local settlements like Stewartsville and Montgomery Village.
