1964 Map of Mount Hermon

About this map

White Oak Mountain dominates the central landscape of this Pittsylvania County survey, creating a prominent ridge that separates the drainage of Pudding Creek and Sandy Creek. The cultural landscape is defined by small rural hubs and a network of country churches, including Gilfield Ch, Fleemon Ch, and Oak Grove Ch. In the south, the expansion of Danville is evident near New Design, where the city line meets the county at Highland Burial Park. Transport and industry are marked by the Southern Railway corridor through Blairs and Witt, while the presence of Laniers Mill and several schools like Mount Hermon Sch suggest the established social and economic centers of the mid-20th century. This edition includes 1970 photorevisions, highlighting the growth of residential structures and landmarks like the Tuscarora Country Club and the Radio Tower near the mountain peak.
