1968 Map of Dillwyn

About this map

Dillwyn stands as the primary hub of this Buckingham County landscape, where the CSX rail line curves through a terrain defined by ridges and creek valleys. The settlement pattern reveals a series of smaller rural centers such as Sprouses Corner, Alpha, and Eldridge Mill, connected by winding roads that follow the high ground between drainages like Troublesome Creek and Whispering Creek. The map documents a significant network of community anchors, from the Woodson High Sch to numerous family cemeteries and churches including Hanes Chapel Cem and Gold Mine Ch. North of the main town, Buffards Mtn and Mourning Valley provide distinct topographical landmarks, while Dillwyn Lake and several quarries reflect the local intersection of natural resources and infrastructure during the late twentieth century.
