1920 Map of Arringdale

USGS Topo · Published 1920

About this map

The Meherrin River serves as the central artery for this borderland between Virginia and North Carolina, winding through a landscape of dense swamps and scattered agrarian settlements. The 1918 survey documents a region defined by its waterway crossings and small rural centers, including Arringdale and Branchville. Evidence of shifting transportation is visible in the Old Railroad Grade north of Haleys Bridge, which sits alongside active corridors like the Seaboard Air Line and the Norfolk and Danville Line. Numerous community institutions are recorded, from the Rising Star School and Holly Square School to Morris Hill Church. The topography is notably flat, dominated by extensive drainage systems such as Buckhorn Swamp and Cypress Swamp, which supported local industry at sites like Taylors Millpond and Jordans Mill.
