1920 Map of White Plains

USGS Topo · Published 1939

About this map

White Plains and Gholsonville anchor this rural landscape in the years following the First World War, where the border between Virginia and North Carolina is defined by the Roanoke River. The area is densely patterned with the markers of early 20th-century community life, from the Gholsonville School to numerous country congregations such as St Pauls Chapel and Star Rock Church. Along the Meherrin River and its many tributaries, local industry is visible through sites like Birks Mill and Starks Mill, while river crossings are facilitated by the Jones Low Bridge and Golson Bridge. A network of small general stores, including Dragoole Store and Phipps Store, suggests the localized commerce of the era. The southern portion of the sheet features the Vultare Sta on the rail line and the extensive Sage Pond Swamp, illustrating the varied terrain of the Piedmont.
