1963 Map of Purdy

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Nottoway River defines the northern boundary of this landscape, carving a winding path through the borderlands of Sussex and Greenesville counties in the early 1960s. The region is characterized by an intricate drainage system of swamps and creeks, including Otterdam Swamp, Moores Swamp, and Cottail Creek, which intersect the agricultural and timbered terrain. The Norfolk and Western railway cuts through the center of the sheet, providing a vital transportation artery for the rural community of Purdy. Local life centers around scattered crossroad settlements and small rural institutions. Researchers will find several landmark churches such as Mt Pleasant Ch, Gideon Ch, and Little Shiloh Ch, alongside the Mayo Sch and family-named sites like Cowie Cem and Harrison Cem. The presence of a Jeep Trail suggests the persistence of traditional movement patterns through the dense woodlands and swampy lowlands of south-central Virginia.
