1968 Map of South Hill SE

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Lake Gaston dominates the central landscape of this border region, where the Roanoke River channel forms the boundary between Virginia and North Carolina. The map captures the area as it transitioned into a major recreational and residential hub, with several Boat Ramps and a Campground lining the northern shores near Joyceville. While the reservoir altered the natural drainage of tributaries like Miles Creek and Poplar Creek, the surrounding uplands retain a dense network of rural landmarks essential for genealogical research. Numerous country churches, including Bethel Grove Ch, St Stephens Ch, and Jordan Hill Ch, serve as anchors for the local communities. The western edge of the quadrangle is marked by the Seaboard Coast Line railroad, illustrating the historical transportation corridor that serviced the small settlements and crossroads like Barker Crossroads and Five Forks during the mid-to-late 20th century.
