1961 Map of Sabina

About this map

The Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads intersect at Sabina, a central hub in Clinton County where agricultural production met the transit lines. This 1961 survey illustrates the rural landscape of the Virginia Military District, characterized by dispersed farmsteads and small crossroads settlements like Reesville, Melvin, and New Antioch. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows Centerville (Lees Creek PO), while the surrounding countryside is dotted with local landmarks of genealogical value, such as the Richland Ch and the Simon Kenton Sch. Drainage follows the natural contours of Anderson Fork and Wilson Creek, with small industrial sites like a Quarry and Gravel Pit highlighting the local extraction activities that supported regional road development. The map also meticulously preserves the locations of several family burial grounds, including Spurgeon Cem and Garrard Cem.
