1965 Map of Martinsville West

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

The Smith River carves a winding path through the industrial and residential corridors of Henry County, anchoring a landscape shaped by textile mills and manufacturing at the height of the mid-20th century. Major settlement clusters at Fieldale and Collinsville show the dense suburbanization and infrastructure of the era, including the Sewage Disposal plant and multiple schools like Fieldale-Collinsville High Sch. The presence of the Norfolk and Western rail line alongside the Old Grade Railroad illustrates the evolution of transport in this corner of the Piedmont. Away from the river, the terrain rises toward Dug Mtn and Chestnut Knob, where numerous small country congregations such as Fort Trial Ch, New Bethel Ch, and High Ridge Ch served the rural communities. Industrial activity is further evidenced by a Sand and Gravel Pit and a Quarry, while the urban edge of Martinsville is marked by the Oakwood Cemetery and a local Hospital.
