About this map

The Dan River flows through the center of this 2016 survey, defining the industrial and civic heart of Danville and its surrounding neighborhoods. Spanning the water are several key crossings including the Union Street Bridge, Worsham Street Bridge, and Robertson Bridge, connecting the main city center to northern districts like Westover Hills and Dundee. The urban landscape is densely packed with sites of local historical and genealogical significance, particularly its numerous burial grounds such as Leemont Cem, Grove Street Cem, and the Freedmens Cem.

Southern reaches of the map transition into Virginia's borderlands with North Carolina, where smaller communities like Stokesland, Schoolfield, and Whitfield are situated near the Norfolk Southern rail line. This area shows a complex mix of education and industry, featuring the Averett Univ and Danville Community Coll campuses alongside numerous creek systems like Pumpkin Cr and Rutledy Cr. The map captures the city as a regional hub of transportation and education just before the close of the 2010s.
