1963 Map of Dinwiddie

About this map

The Seaboard Coast Line railroad creates a sharp diagonal axis through this rural landscape, passing through the community of Dinwiddie and the small station site at Butterworth Depot. This mid-century survey illustrates a settlement pattern defined by small rural hubs and scattered family-named cemeteries such as the Wittpenn Cem and Wells Cem. Local education and religion are anchored by facilities like Southside High Sch and several country churches, including Mt Level Ch and St Thomas Ch near Hamilton. The terrain is characterized by winding watercourses like Stony Creek and its tributaries, Hawkins Branch and Mortar Branch, which create intricate drainage patterns across the timbered and agricultural lands of the Piedmont.
