1963 Map of Emporia

About this map

The Emporia landscape in the early 1960s serves as a primary transit hub where the Norfolk and Danville and Atlantic Coast Line railroads intersect the Meherrin River. This survey captures the town's mid-century civic expansion, evidenced by the Greensville Memorial Hospital, the County High School, and a Drive-in Theater situated near Kingsberry. Beyond the municipal center, the map documents a network of rural communities and crossroads, such as Bufford Crossroads and Moonlight. The southern reaches are defined by the winding course of Fontaine Creek and the lowlands of Mill Swamp, while numerous family and community landmarks, including Jones Cemetery and St Johns Ch, provide essential data points for local genealogists and historians tracing the settlement patterns of Greensville County.
