1966 Map of Adams Grove

About this map

Meherrin River meanders across the southern landscape of this Southampton and Greensville County border region, carving deep loops through the lowlands during the mid-1960s. The area is defined by its extensive swamp systems, including Bellyache Swamp and Otterdam Swamp, which dictated the early settlement patterns of rural communities. The map highlights the intersection of transportation and small-town life, where the Norfolk Franklin and Danville railroad connects points like Green Plain and Adams Grove.
