First published in 1893, this Farmville sheet was printed in 1914 and survives in excellent condition, printed on thick stock and never folded, smooth and flat with a flawless map area. Part of the USGS 30-minute series at 1:125,000, it takes in a stretch of south-central Virginia about 50 miles southwest of Richmond, with Farmville, Blackstone, Crewe, and the college town of Hampden Sydney falling within the quad, along with parts of Prince Edward, Nottoway, and neighboring counties. Drawn from an 1889 field survey under geographer Henry Gannett and predating the modern highway system, it records the era’s rail lines, historic travel routes, and old placenames, and comes from an uncommonly well-preserved collection. The reverse carries printed reference material explaining the map’s symbols and contour lines.

The Farmville 30-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey in 1889.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the USGS 30-minute series have been out of print for many years. They have never been common and original prints are increasingly difficult to find. For areas where the 30-minute map was produced, it is usually the first large-scale survey done by the USGS for that area. These are a valuable historical record, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent series’ and editions.
