1917 Map of Sardinia

About this map

Lynchburg and Fayetteville anchor this detailed study of the rural landscape across the Brown and Highland county line during the mid-1910s. The region is defined by a dense network of small-scale education and religious centers, most notably the Ursuline Convent near Saint Martin. The distribution of dozens of local institutions, such as Richland School, Quinn School, and Stroup School, illustrates a late-agrarian social structure where community life was localized within walking distance of family farms.
