1968 Map of Crewe West

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Burkeville serves as the central rail hub of this Southside Virginia landscape, where the Norfolk and Western and Southern railroads intersect. The town’s compact grid and the nearby Piedmont State Hospital illustrate the region's mid-century institutional and transportation footprint. Moving east toward Crewe, the terrain is defined by the headwaters of numerous creeks including Flat Creek and Deep Creek, which drain the undulating countryside. Local history is deeply embedded in the rural road network, connecting points like Burkes Tavern and Jennings Ordinary. The map preserves the locations of numerous community landmarks, from Wards Chapel and Hickory Grove Ch to family and church burial grounds like Downs Cem and Olive Branch Cem. This detailed survey, field-checked in the late 1960s, documents the transition from a traditional agrarian economy to one anchored by major rail corridors and public facilities.
