1925 Map of Danville

About this map

The Dan River serves as the industrial and geographic anchor for this 1920s landscape, where the textile manufacturing hub of Schoolfield and the neighboring community of Bannerville define the river's southern bank. This survey, completed in 1923, documents the corridor before modern sprawl, showing the intricate network of the Southern railroad and local waypoints like Stokesland and Ringgold. To the north, the terrain is dominated by the prominent ridge of White Oak Mountain, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with a dense distribution of rural schools and churches, such as the Lovelace Hall School and Mt Pleasant Church.
