2016 Map of Abilene

About this map

Abilene and County Line Cross Roads serve as the central hubs for this rural landscape along the boundary of Charlotte and Prince Edward Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of minor tributaries, including Buffalo Cr and Spring Cr, which feed into the larger Roanoke Cr. This 2016 survey illustrates a community deeply rooted in its local history, evidenced by numerous family and community burial grounds such as Bethpeor Cem, Saint Ann Cem, and Buffalo Cem. The presence of the Abilene Airport and roads like Darlington Heights Rd suggest a modern layer of connectivity superimposed over a long-established agricultural grid. Small settlements like Five Forks and Darlington Heights maintain their identity through this web of county routes, where the land's hydrology dictates the placement of homes and crossings.
