2019 Map of Martinsville East

About this map

The industrial and civic center of Martinsville anchors this survey of southern Virginia, where the city grid transitions into the complex drainage networks of the Piedmont. The Smith River and its tributaries, including Mulberry Cr and Leatherwood Creek, dictate the local topography and historical development patterns. Significant infrastructure for transportation and education is evident, from the Patrick Henry Community College campus to aviation hubs like Loury Lester Airpark and Gravely Airport. The map documents the eastern expansion of the city into suburbs and named communities such as Chatmoss, Fontaine, and Old Liberty. Genealogists will find value in the placement of several local burial sites, including the large Roselawn Burial Park near the city center and the more outlying Barrow Cem and Wilson Cem, reflecting family settlement patterns across the Henry County line.
