1966 Map of Java

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Java and the surrounding rural landscape of the Pittsylvania and Halifax county line are defined by a network of winding creeks and early crossroads settlements. This mid-1960s perspective, updated with early 1980s data, shows a region tied to its agricultural roots, with numerous small congregations such as Providence Ch, Womacks Chapel, and Zion Chapel anchoring the community. The topography is etched by the Banister River in the northwest and the expansive Elkhorn Lake, which was created along Elkhorn Creek. Local commerce and transit are marked by places like Chaneys Store and Henrys Mill, while smaller locales such as Lucks and Pickaway illustrate the dispersed nature of habitation during this era. Surveyors also documented many unmarked Cem (cemeteries) on private lands, providing critical clues for those tracing family history in this part of Southside Virginia.
