1965 Map of Brosville

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Dan River flows prominently through this 1965 survey, marking the border between Pittsylvania County, Virginia, and Rockingham County, North Carolina. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the river and its many tributaries, including White Oak Creek and Hardys Creek. Small agricultural communities and family-named landforms dot the terrain, with ridges like Soyar Mountain and Judy Byrd Mountain rising above the valleys. The Southern railroad line parallels the river, facilitating transport through rural settlements like Berry Hill and Buford. Local life is anchored by numerous country churches, such as Piney Grove Ch and Welcome Ch, and the map records several isolated family burial grounds like Moss Cem. This edition, photoinspected in the early 1980s, captures the transition of the Piedmont region where tobacco farming and small-scale industry met the growing infrastructure of the mid-20th century.
