1967 Map of Holland

About this map

Holland and Carrsville anchor this rural landscape in southeastern Virginia, where the agricultural character of the late 1960s is evidenced by the VPI Research Sta and scattered rural settlements like Ducks Store. The map captures a transitional era for local transportation, showing the overlapping routes of the Norfolk Franklin and Danville, Seaboard Coast Line, and Norfolk and Western railroads. A network of wetlands, including Kingsale Swamp and Beaverdam Swamp, dictates the placement of community landmarks such as Beaverdam Ch and Laurel Hill Ch. Notable mid-century cultural markers are also preserved here, including a Drive-in Theater near Carrsville and the Southwestern High Sch serving the local population. The boundary between Isle of Wight Co and Nansemond Co runs through the northeast, marking a period before major jurisdictional changes in the Tidewater region.
