1966 Map of Capron
USGS Topo · Published 1990About this map
Norfolk and Western rail lines bisect the heart of Southampton County, anchoring the small community of Capron during the mid-1960s. This agricultural and correctional landscape is defined by its watercourses, notably Three Creek and Buckhorn Swamp, which shaped the placement of rural outposts like Worrell and Angelico. The presence of the State Correctional Farm in the northwest corner and the Capron District Sch indicates a community balanced between public institutions and family-centered rural life. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of vital community centers including Mars Hill Ch, Vincent Grove Ch, and the Capron Cem. The southeastern edge descends toward the Nottoway River, with the Capron Lookout Tower standing as a sentinel over the surrounding timber and swamp lands.
