About this map

Lawrenceville serves as the focal point of this Brunswick County survey, showing the town's layout just as the mid-century era transitioned. The grounds of St Pauls College and St Pauls Ch dominate the northern portion of the town, while Oakwood Cem and Lawrenceville Cem mark the community's established history. This period finds the region heavily influenced by three distinct rail lines: the Seaboard Air Line passing through Alberta, the Norfolk and Western running through Dolphin, and the Norfolk and Danville serving Edgerton.

The rural landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses like Sturgeon Creek and Rocky Run, interspersed with numerous community anchors. Local genealogists will find value in the placement of rural landmarks such as Cool Spring Ch, Pleasant Hill Ch, and Shart Chapel Cem. The map also captures the local infrastructure of the early 1960s, including the Landing Strip near Edgerton and Russell High Sch on the western edge.
