1939 Map of Hansonville

About this map

Clinch Mountain and Copper Ridge dominate the southwest Virginia landscape in this 1930s topographic study, defining a series of narrow valleys where agriculture and small settlements took root. The settlement of Hansonville serves as a central point where several forks of Moccasin Creek converge before the stream cuts westward. The map reveals a deeply established rural infrastructure of the era, marked by numerous local institutions such as the Stony Point Sch and Cedar Grove Ch.
