1966 Map of Mt. Airy

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Banister River meanders across this rural landscape in the mid-1960s, defining the agricultural and social rhythm of northern Pittsylvania Co near its border with Halifax Co. The settlement of Mt Airy serves as a central point, supported by community institutions like Mt Airy Sch and St Andrews Ch. To the north, Glenland and Renan anchor a network of country roads, while the southern reaches feature the community of Riceville and the Markham Church at Markham. The terrain is characterized by a dense system of tributary streams, including Straightstone Creek, Flyblow Creek, and Stinking River, which historically dictated land use and property boundaries. Genealogists will find a significant number of unnamed cemeteries scattered throughout the hills, suggesting a long history of family homesteads established well before these 1964 aerial surveys were conducted.
