1977 Map of Brosville

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Dan River curves through the center of this 1970s orthophotoquad, defining a landscape of dense woodlands and geometric agricultural clearings along the Virginia and North Carolina border. This unique aerial perspective shows the settlement patterns of Brosville and Bachelors Hall as they appeared in the late twentieth century, with road networks connecting small rural communities like Oak Ridge, Vandola, and Buford. The imagery provides a raw look at land use, revealing the exact footprint of homesteads and the winding course of the Sandy River as it feeds into the larger waterway. South of the river, Mayfield stands as a prominent point of interest for those studying the borderland geography between Pittsylvania County and the neighboring North Carolina territory. The map is a product of cooperation between the USGS and the North Carolina Department of Natural and Community Development.
