1966 Map of Yale

About this map

The borderlands of Sussex and Southampton counties in the mid-1960s are defined by a network of rural hamlets and timber-rich bottomlands. Small settlements such as Yale, Hilda, and Gray anchor the landscape, which is bisected by the Norfolk and Western railway. The influence of early 20th-century industry is evident in the presence of an Old Railroad Grade and the Rivers Mill site located near Rivers Pond at the southern edge of the survey. The community's social fabric is visible through scattered congregations like Russian Ch, Calvary Ch, and Center Star Ch. To the southeast, the expansive Southampton Correctional Farm occupies a significant portion of the terrain above Hornet Swamp and Poplar Swamp, illustrating the large-scale institutional land use common in this part of Virginia.
