1966 Map of Long Island

About this map

The Roanoke River bisects this mid-1960s landscape, serving as the primary geographical divider between Campbell, Pittsylvania, and Halifax counties. The river valley is marked by a series of named islands, including Goat Island and Long Island, with the Norfolk and Western railroad tracing the northern bank through the settlement of Long Island. This period captures a predominantly rural and religious community structure, evidenced by the clustered churches of First Buffalo Ch and Second Buffalo Ch located south of the river near Buffalo Creek.
