1971 Map of Woodville

About this map

Woodville sits at the heart of this Piedmont landscape, where the rolling foothills meet the Blue Ridge mountains. The map documents a rural Virginia economy defined by the confluence of the Hazel River and Hughes River, featuring a network of crossroads settlements and small-scale infrastructure. Distinctive topographic features like Red Oak Mountain, Bessie Bell Mountain, and Slaughter Mtn dominate the horizon, while the lowlands are dotted with community landmarks. Genealogists and local historians can trace family locations through named sites such as Revercombs Corner and Buckners Corner, along with traditional places of worship including Piedmont Ch, Mt Lebanon Ch, and Nazareth Ch. The presence of Peola Mills and Slate Mills indicates the historical importance of water-powered industry along the riverbanks, even as a modern Landing Strip appears near Jobbers Mountain.
