1963 Map of Rustburg

About this map

The county seat of Rustburg serves as the focal point of this Virginia landscape, situated along the Norfolk And Western railroad line. The map reveals a community defined by its local institutions and family heritage, featuring numerous cemeteries such as Falwell Cem, Buford Cem, and Silver Grove Cem. Educational and civic life is centered at County High Sch and the State Prison Camp, while the surrounding terrain is dominated by the prominent ridge of Long Mountain and Jack Mountain. Waterways like Mollys Creek and Beaver Creek wind through the hills, supporting local agriculture and small settlements like Lone Jack Station and Bocock. This mid-century view documents the transition between the agricultural past and the growing infrastructure of the 1960s, including the early development of Thomas Terrace and the established rural congregations at Providence Ch and New Hope Ch.
