1965 Map of Saluda

About this map

Saluda serves as a central hub on this Middle Peninsula map, where several major rural routes converge near the local courthouse and Middlesex High Sch. The landscape is defined by the deep, dendritic fingers of Dragon Swamp and Courthouse Swamp, which drain into the Piankatank River. To the north, the terrain gives way to the broad Rappahannock River shoreline, featuring historic maritime points like Burhans Wharf and Saluda Landing. The map captures a transition in local education and industry, showing established institutions like Christchurch Sch alongside a Sandpit and the Camp Nimcock Landing Strip. Small settlements such as Stormont, Glenns, and Locust Hill are connected by a network of local roads and religious centers, including Antioch Ch and Christ Ch, reflecting the deep-rooted community structure of mid-century Virginia.
