1966 Map of Altavista
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The Roanoke River serves as the dividing line between Campbell and Pittsylvania counties, anchoring a landscape defined by industry and transit during the mid-1960s. The town of Altavista sits prominently along the north bank, featuring infrastructure such as a Filtration Plant and Sewage Disposal Pond, while the settlement of Hurt lies just across the water to the south. Transport is dominated by the intersecting routes of the Norfolk and Western and Southern railroads, which weave through the terrain near Motley and Sycamore. Rural life is evidenced by numerous country churches, including Hundley Ch, Moriah Ch, and Olive Ch. The map shows later 1970s updates in purple, highlighting the development of various trailer parks and the Altavista Country Club as the local community expanded around the foothills of Jasper Mountain and Brushy Mountain.
