About this map

The Dan River flows through the heart of the city of Danville, serving as the central geographic feature for this late 2010s survey. The map records the contemporary footprint of major local institutions, including Averett University and its North Campus, as well as Danville Community College. Several historical neighborhoods and mill-town areas such as Schoolfield and Almagro are clearly delineated, alongside more modern residential expansions like Westover Hills.

Bridging the river are several named crossings including the Robertson Bridge and Worsham Street Bridge, which connect the urban core to northern suburbs. Further south, the landscape transitions into the rural Piedmont along the Virginia-North Carolina border, reaching into Caswell County and the small settlement of Pelham. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating numerous burial sites, from the large Green Hill and Leemont cemeteries to the smaller Stokesland Cemetery and Schoolfield Cemetery.
