2022 Map of Altavista

About this map

The Roanoke River carves a winding path across the northern landscape, separating Altavista in Campbell County from the town of Hurt in Pittsylvania County. This 2022 survey illustrates a region defined by its waterway and historical transit corridors, where the river's bend dictates the local street grids of these primary settlements. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as it rises toward Jasper Mountain and Brushy Mountain, with the land drained by Sycamore Creek and the North Fork Stinking River. Rural communities like Motley, Hill Grove, and Sycamore are connected by a network of local roads such as Sanctuary Road and Izaak Walton Road. Genealogists and historians will find several burial grounds noted across the quadrangle, including Green Hill Cemetery near the river and New Bethel Cemetery to the east.
