1963 Map of Alberta

About this map

Brunswick County’s rural character and rail-centered development are captured here during the 1960s, with later updates tracking the mid-century expansion of local institutions. The town of Alberta serves as a northern hub, defined by the junction of the Norfolk and Western and Seaboard Coast Line railroads. This intersection created a corridor of small communities such as Cochran and Meredithville, which were once vital links in the region's agricultural and transit network. Further south, the landscape is dotted with family-named landmarks and educational sites, including the Southside Community College (Christanna Campus) and rural schools like Charlie Hope No 2 Sch.
