1964 Map of Pittsville

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Pigg River flows into the northern reaches of Leesville Lake in this mid-1960s snapshot of Pittsylvania County, which was updated in the late 1970s to reflect localized developments like The Cedars Country Club. The landscape is a network of small upland settlements including Pittsville, Climax, and Whittles, the latter of which sits along the Southern railroad line. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural community defined by its proximity to water and religion, evidenced by numerous crossroads churches such as Burning Bush Ch, Siloam Ch, and Watson Level Ch. The presence of several family-named features like Walkers Well and Pullens indicates a region of long-standing lineage, while a solitary mine near the lake suggests a history of small-scale mineral extraction in the shadow of Farmers Mountain.
