2019 Map of Adams Grove

About this map

The Meherrin River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, defining the boundary between Greensville and Southampton counties. This territory is characterized by its complex hydrology, where numerous wetlands such as Applewhite Swamp, Bellyache Swamp, and Otterdam Swamp drain toward the river through small tributaries like Three Creek. The settlement pattern follows the high ground between these wetlands, with small communities like Adams Grove, Green Plain, and Grizzard linked by a network of local roads including Hicksford Rd and Fortsville Rd.
