1965 Map of Mountain Valley
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Turkeycock Mountain dominates this landscape along the border of Henry, Franklin, and Pittsylvania counties, anchoring the expansive Turkeycock Wildlife Management Area. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Snow Creek, Turkeycock Creek, and Leatherwood Creek, where the local economy once relied on water-powered industry at sites like Hedges Mill and Swansons Mill. Rural life in the mid-1960s is preserved through scattered community hubs such as Parkers Store, Giles Store, and the village of Mountain Valley. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous localized burial grounds and country churches, including Boones Chapel Cem, Mt Parris Ch, and Schoolfield Ch. From the Turkeycock Lookout Tower down to the small crossroads of Vashti and Grady, this survey captures the rural character and family-named landmarks of Virginia's Southside Piedmont before later development altered these traditional settlement patterns.
