-Feel free to copy this comment to discussion in any case, but I propose this title simply because this graticule certainly isn't Roanoke, nor Lynchburg.  (Roanoke-Salem would be a more convenient center point, and Lynchburg would be a convenient focus for what is currently known as "Appomattox," but there's the obvious problem of "the lines fall where they fall."  Thus, I rejected Roanoke-Lynchburg as a name.  Following the tradition of the "[[Shenandoah Valley, Virginia]]" graticule nearby, I thought something indicating a similar but unique name would be an acceptable compromise.  I have never been particularly clear on the preferred definition of "the Blue Ridge Mountains," but as Blue Ridge does appear in the graticule, I found it appropriate.  (Plus, this is a remarkably good graticule for me personally were I to explore my family's roots/visit nearby relatives!)  --[[User:James.|James.]] 18:11, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
