About this map

Chatham serves as the central hub for this early twentieth-century survey of Pittsylvania County, situated at the intersection of a complex agrarian and industrial landscape. The Southern Railway and the Danville And Western Railway facilitate the movement of goods and people through several small depots and settlements, including Gretna and the uniquely named Tight Squeeze. The regional economy of the 1920s is clearly visible through the numerous water-powered mills such as Vaden's Mill and Hodnetts Mill lining the local waterways.
