1968 Map of Keysville

About this map

The town of Keysville serves as a central hub in Southside Virginia where the Southern and Norfolk And Western railroads intersect. This 1968 field-checked landscape shows a mix of agricultural heritage and mid-century infrastructure, featuring several rural congregations such as Briery Ch and Ash Camp Ch. The surrounding countryside is defined by the headwaters of the North Meherrin River and its numerous tributaries, including Turkey Egg Creek and Little Owl Creek. Cultural landmarks of the era are clearly marked, from the Drive-in Theatre north of town to the Briery Country Club and a local Landing Strip. The map also captures the tri-county boundary lines where Charlotte Co, Prince Edward Co, and Lunenburg Co meet, providing a detailed look at the scattered settlements of Virso, Simplicity, and Bruceville.
