1966 Map of Brookneal

About this map

The Roanoke River serves as the focal point of this Southside Virginia landscape, marking the convergence of Campbell, Halifax, and Charlotte counties. The town of Brookneal stands as a primary hub where the Norfolk and Western railway lines intersect, supporting a mix of local industry including a Filtration Plant and Fish Hatchery. Of significant local interest is the presence of Red Hill (Home of Patrick Henry), the final home and burial place of the founding father, situated along the river's northern bank.
