1963 Map of Stewartsville

About this map

Stewartsville and the surrounding ridgelines of the Blue Ridge define this landscape, where the rural character of Bedford and Botetourt counties met mid-century infrastructure. The southern edge is anchored by the Roanoke River and the Niagara Powerplant, while the north features the industrial presence of the Norfolk and Western railroad corridor. Significant water management is evident at Falling Creek Reservoir and its associated Filtration Plant, serving the growing populations near Bonsack and Webster.
