2016 Map of Pittsville

About this map

Gretna serves as the primary hub in this central Pittsylvania County landscape, situated where the terrain begins to rise toward Farmers Mtn in the northeast. The map illustrates a dense network of secondary roads, such as Tucks Cemetery Rd and Pittsville Rd, connecting historic communities like Pittsville, Whittles, and Redeye. These settlements are linked by a complex drainage system including Cherrystone Cr and Whitethorn Cr, which flow through the undulating countryside. The presence of Leesville Lake in the northwest corner highlights the importance of water management in this region, while names like Smothers and Galveston along the eastern corridor indicate established crossroads that have served local residents for generations. The map's detail provides a clear view of the rural landscape's transition from agricultural valleys to more prominent upland features.
