1968 Map of Blackstone West

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Blackstone sits at the eastern edge of this landscape, where the Norfolk and Western railroad cuts through the terrain near Lakeview Cemetery. The surrounding countryside is defined by the winding course of the Nottoway River and its many tributaries, including Little Nottoway River and Whetstone Creek. This period of the late 1960s shows a mix of established community institutions and modern additions, from Mt Nebo Ch and Foster High Sch to a Drive-in Theater and the Radio Tower (WKLV) transmitting station. A significant portion of the southeast is occupied by the Fort Pickett Military Reservation, marking a clear boundary between civilian farmsteads and military land. Local genealogists will find value in the specific placement of rural landmarks like Mt Gazerine Ch and the New Prospect Ch Cem located near the headwaters of the Nottoway River.
