1964 Map of Blairs

About this map

The community of Blairs and the rural hills of Pittsylvania County define this Virginia landscape as it transitioned into the late twentieth century. This sheet, based on mid-1960s photogrammetry with 1990 photo-revisions, reveals a network of country roads like Kentuck Road connecting several historic congregations and school sites. Educational landmarks including Southside High Sch and Dan River High Sch stand alongside traditional rural centers such as Keeling and Chestnut Level. The map traces numerous watercourses, including Sandy Creek, Birch Creek, and Fall Creek, which carve through the terrain. Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible through a Quarry near Beaver Park and a major Pipeline cutting across the western portion of the quadrangle. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its density of unnamed cemeteries and specific church locations like Malmaison Ch and Bethel Ch.
