2016 Map of Adams Grove

About this map

The Meherrin River winds along the southern border of this landscape, marking the boundary between Greensville and Southampton counties. In this coastal plain environment, the terrain is defined by complex drainage networks, including Otterdam Swamp, Applewhite Swamp, and Bellyache Swamp. These wetlands dictate the placement of local infrastructure, where roads such as Southampton Pkwy and Grizzard Rd skirt the edges of low-lying areas. Small crossroads and rail-influenced settlements like Adams Grove, Green Plain, and James River Junction punctuate the agricultural and timber lands.
