1966 Map of Blackstone East

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Fort Pickett Military Reservation dominates this 1960s landscape in southern Virginia, characterized by a complex of barracks, observation towers, and the sprawling Blackstone Airport. To the west, the town of Blackstone serves as a hub of civilian life and transport, anchored by the Norfolk and Western Railway as it cuts past the Lookout Tower and Spring Hill Ch. The map reveals the intricate water network of the Nottoway River watershed, including the Nottoway Reservoir and numerous family-named or historically titled streams like Gettysburg Branch and Tommeheton Creek. Rural life persists on the periphery of the base, evidenced by community anchors like Faith Ch and Jones Ch, alongside several gravel pits and a trailer park, providing a detailed record of the Nottoway and Dinwiddie county borderlands during a period of sustained military activity.
