About this map

New Burlington and its surrounding countryside in Greene and Clinton Counties are captured here in the late 1960s, prior to major local landscape changes. The settlement of New Burlington sits at a crossroads near the Anderson Fork, where a Covered Bridge is still documented spanning the water. The map reflects a landscape defined by small rural centers like Paintersville, Kingman, and Pogue Corners, each connected by a network of named country roads such as Cornstalk Road and Winchester Road.

Genealogical and local history details are plentiful, including the Spring Valley School, the Township School, and several rural houses of worship like Richland Church and Zoar Church. To the west, the Spring Valley Wildlife Area preserves the bottomlands along the river, while landmarks like an Indian Mound and the New Burlington Cemetery offer clues to the area's ancient and pioneer heritage within the Virginia Military District.
