1966 Map of Lunenburg

About this map

Lunenburg serves as a focal point for this rural landscape in the mid-1960s, where the winding courses of the North Meherrin River and Middle Meherrin River dictate the local geography. The map reveals a community defined by its proximity to water and religious life, with numerous small settlements like Rehoboth, Wattsboro, and Traffic distributed across the terrain. A notable density of country churches, including Tussekiah Ch, Bethany Ch, and Mt Olivet Ch, suggests a traditional settlement pattern where these institutions served as primary social anchors.
