2019 Map of Altavista

About this map

The Roanoke River carves a path through the northern landscape of this Virginia Piedmont region, separating the industrial and residential hub of Altavista from the neighboring town of Hurt to the south. This 2019 survey documents a complex network of local roads and state routes, including the prominent US Route 29 corridor, that connects several smaller settlements such as Motley, Sycamore, and Hill Grove. The area's topography is defined by significant elevations like Brushy Mtn and Jasper Mtn, which overlook a dense drainage system comprising Sycamore Cr and the N Fork Stinking River. Genealogists and local historians can find several established burial sites, including Green Hill Cem and New Bethel Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted community history along the Campbell and Pittsylvania county line.
