1967 Map of Sanville

About this map

The Patrick and Henry County line divides this rural landscape, where tobacco and timber culture shaped the ridge-and-valley settlement pattern. Tiny hamlets like Sanville and Blackberry serve as local hubs, connected by winding routes that follow the drainage of Blackberry Creek and the North Mayo River. A dense concentration of rural institutions anchors the community, including several historic congregations such as Old Center Ch and Mt Calvary Ch, alongside local education sites like the Pleasant View Sch and Spencer Sch. In the southern reaches, the transition to modern infrastructure is marked by the presence of the Blue Ridge Airport, while the northern terrain is dominated by the prominence of Hogpen Mountain. This 1967 survey, updated in the early 1980s, preserves the mid-century footprint of small Virginia crossroads like Stones Store and Stella.
