1954 Map of Buckhorn

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Buckhorn (Purvis Sta) serves as a primary rail point in this mid-century landscape, which is defined by a dense web of competing railroad lines crossing the Virginia coastal plain. The Seaboard Air Line, Virginian, Atlantic and Danville, and Norfolk and Western railroads all traverse the terrain, reflecting the intense industrial transit network of the era. This concentration of rail infrastructure supported small rural nodes like Lummis, Manning, and Nurneysville, where community life centered around religious and social hubs like the Somerton Friends Meeting House and the Savage Crossing School.
