1997 Map of Leasburg

About this map

Hyco Lake dominates the upper reaches of the landscape, its branching fingers following the natural drainage of Kilgore Creek and Hyco Creek along the border of Caswell Co and Person Co. The map reveals a rural transition near the turn of the millennium, where old road networks like Longs Mill Road and Hesters Store Road connect long-standing community centers. Leasburg and Semora anchor the north and south, characterized by a high density of local churches such as Union Ch and New Hope Ch. The presence of the Blanch Prison and several game lands suggests a landscape largely dedicated to state-managed property and agriculture. Genealogists may find value in the specific locations of rural institutions, including the High Rock Sch and numerous unnamed family cemeteries scattered across the ridge lines.
