1966 Map of Castle Craig

About this map

The Big Otter River winds through the southern landscape of this region, meeting with Cheese Creek near the border of Roanoke Co and Pittsylvania Co. This mid-century survey, updated in the late 1970s, reveals a rural network of small communities and crossroads anchored by historical congregations. Small settlements like Kingston and Castle Craig appear as clusters of homes and services along the primary north-south corridors, while the surrounding Hills are dotted with numerous churches including Chapel Grove Ch, Liberty Ch, and New Hope Ch. The drainage patterns of Seneca Creek and its tributaries define the local geography, providing a clear look at the area's development before more modern expansion. Local landmarks such as Altavista Memorial Park and Seminole Lake offer specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family ties to these Virginia townships.
