1922 Map of Callands

About this map

Callands and the surrounding tobacco-growing country of Pittsylvania County and Franklin County are captured here in 1922, just as the local infrastructure relied on numerous river crossings and small-scale milling. The Pigg River winds through the northern half of the sheet, crossed by landmarks like Haines Bridge and the Louis Island Bridge. This era shows a landscape densely populated with local institutions, including dozens of rural schoolhouses such as Penhook School and Triangle School, alongside country stores like Adams Store and Giles Store that served as community hubs.
