USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
The Smith River winds through this 1944 survey of Henry County, Virginia, anchoring a landscape defined by small mill towns and tobacco farming. Martinsville serves as the regional hub, while the Danville and Western RR facilitates the movement of goods through settlements like Fieldale and Stanleytown. The map captures a transition in rural life, where local industry such as the Rough and Ready Mill and the Firestone plant coexist with traditional family-named landmarks and land holdings.
