1968 Map of Ballsville

About this map

Appomattox River winds through this rural landscape on the border of Powhatan and Amelia counties, serving as a primary geographical anchor for the surrounding communities. In the late 1960s, the area remained predominantly agricultural, with small crossroads such as Ballsville, Tobaccoville, and Paineville connected by a network of secondary roads and improved surfaces. The map reveals the local social fabric through its numerous country churches, including Hobsons Chapel and Little Union Ch, which often served as the central gathering points for these disparate rural settlements.
