About this map

The town of Crewe and the nearby settlement of Fergusonville anchor this late 1960s study of Nottoway and Amelia Counties. The Norfolk and Western railroad corridor serves as the primary industrial axis, flanked by landmarks such as the Crewe Municipal Airport and the Southside Vocational Sch. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Deep Creek and the Little Nottoway River, which carve through a terrain dotted with numerous small country churches and rural burial grounds.

Local genealogy is well-represented through sites like Old Poplar Mtn Cem and Blendon Cem, along with community anchors like Mt Calvary Ch and Gibson Mem Ch. This survey, field-checked in 1968, records a traditional Piedmont Virginia landscape where small farm holdings and field lines—noted by fine dashed lines—remained clearly visible from aerial photography prior to more modern suburban development.
