1968 Map of South Hill SE

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Lake Gaston dominates this 1968 landscape, submerging the valley where the Roanoke River once flowed freely across the Virginia and North Carolina border. This map captures the region following the creation of the reservoir, highlighting the shift from a river-bottom economy to one centered on new shorelines and recreation, evidenced by several boat ramps and the Siouan Scout Reservation. Despite the rising waters, the upland areas maintain their traditional settlement patterns, anchored by numerous country churches such as St Stephens Ch, Rehobeth Ch, and Jordan Hill Ch. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts through the northwest corner, serving rural communities like Barker Crossroads and Joyceville. This survey provides a precise record of the shoreline and the persisting road networks connecting Five Forks and other local crossroads during the late 1960s.
