1963 Map of Hallsboro

About this map

The Swift Creek Reservoir serves as a dominant central feature on this 1963 survey of Chesterfield County, which also incorporates purple revisions from 1968. This period of Virginia's history reflects the transition from rural farming landscapes to more modern infrastructure, as evidenced by the numerous pipelines and the presence of the Southside Speedway near the eastern edge. Local genealogy is well-documented through scattered family burial grounds such as Cheatham Cem, Lester Cem, and Fuqua Cem, alongside long-standing community centers like Mt Hermon Ch and Tomahawk Ch. The northern section is marked by the Southern railroad line running through Hallsboro and Dry Bridge, while the southern reaches show the early layouts of Winterpock and Otterdale. The complex drainage system of Swift Creek and its many branches, including Blackman Creek and Nuttree Branch, defines the area's natural topography.
