1965 Map of Martinsville West

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Smith River carves a winding path through Henry County, serving as the industrial and geographical spine for settlements like Fieldale, Bassett Forks, and Koehler. This mid-century landscape is defined by its rail-oriented development, with the Norfolk and Western and Southern railroads intersecting near Villa Heights and the larger city of Martinsville. The survey captures a period of transition, showing established community anchors such as the Fieldale-Collinsville High Sch and Smith Sch alongside leisure sites like the Bassett Country Club. Smaller rural hamlets such as Horse Pasture and Rangeley remain distinct on the outskirts, while family and community history is preserved in sites like Oakwood Cemetery and numerous country churches including Port Trial Ch and Shiloh Ch. The topography reveals a mix of industrial infrastructure, including a Power Plant and Sewage Disposal, and natural landmarks like Dug Mtn and Chestnut Knob.
