1968 Map of Hampden Sydney

About this map

Hampden-Sydney College serves as the focal point of this landscape in southern Virginia, surrounded by the small rural settlements of Hampden Sydney, Kingsville, and Worsham. The map reveals a community deeply rooted in its academic and religious institutions, with the Seminary Cem and Mercy Seat Ch situated near the campus. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including Buffalo Creek and the Bush River, which carve through the wooded ridges. Farther south, the rural character is maintained through small crossroads like Redd Shop and scattered houses of worship such as New Wit Ch and Mt Pleasant Ch. This 1960s survey, with updates from the mid-1980s, documents the area's transition while preserving the locations of family landmarks and local cemeteries that define the heritage of Prince Edward County.
