Hello Frank & Botetourt rooters, There is a series of historical maps prepared by the late John Hildebrand, longtime student of VA history, at the Roanoke Valley Historical Society. The Botetourt map covers the dates 1770-1820 and is 22"X22". Many of the landmarks that you mentioned in your message are noted on the map, including the original Borden Tract, Hall's Bottom, Switzer Mountain, Lapsley (or Persimmon) Run. You can order these maps from: Roanoke Valley Historical Society PO Box 1904 Roanoke, VA 24008 540-342-5770 (they do take credit card orders by phone) Most of the maps are $6 ($4 for members) - other counties: Augusta, Bedford, Fincastle, Franklin, Montgomery, Rockbridge, Roanoke, Wythe counties. The original Benjamin Borden Land Grant, 92,000 acres of an original Augusta Co. deed, (6 Nov 1739) is also available. On a side note, I was just in Botetourt Tuesday to get some records for my family. I copied an 1803 deed in which my ancestor, Christian Shank, bought land from Peter Nofsinger. Looks like our ancestors were neighbors. Hope this helps you! Leigh Blount
