1968 Map of Baskerville

About this map

Baskerville and its surrounding Mecklenburg County crossroads define this landscape in the late 1960s, a period marked by the rural convergence of family farms and emerging infrastructure. The Norfolk and Danville railroad cuts a diagonal path through the terrain, connecting small hubs like Antlers and Midway while passing near the historic The Ridge. A notable concentration of social and spiritual centers serves these communities, including Ebenezer Ch, Bethany Ch, and the Easter Sch, reflecting a long-standing local genealogy. To the northwest, the Sewage Disposal State Prison Camp No 4 near Stony Cross stands as a distinct institutional landmark. The southern reaches of the map are defined by the rising waters of the John H Kerr Reservoir, where Kettles Creek and Mines Creek feed into the controlled inundation areas near Norvello.
