2016 Map of Martinsville West

About this map

Martinsville and its industrial corridor along the Smith River anchor this 2016 study of Henry County. The map details the transition from the denser street grids of the county seat to the outlying textile and manufacturing communities of Fieldale and Bassett Forks. Significant institutional landmarks are recorded, including the New Coll Institute and the American National Univ Martinsville Campus, alongside major burial grounds like Roselawn Burial Park and Oakwood Cem. The southern and western reaches of the quadrangle reveal a more dispersed settlement pattern, with rural names such as Horse Pasture and Preston situated among a network of small waterways including Grassy Creek and Tanyard Branch. These features reflect the long-standing geographic identity of a region shaped by both its river-driven industry and its upland terrain, capped by landmarks like Chestnut Knob and Dug Mountain.
