1966 Map of Adams Grove

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Meherrin River meanders through this portion of Southside Virginia, where the convergence of Sussex, Southampton, and Greensville counties forms a landscape dominated by extensive swamp networks. Local history is anchored at the rural hubs of Grizzard, Green Plain, and Adams Grove, with the transition of regional transportation evidenced by the Norfolk and Western rail line and an older Old Railroad Grade cutting across the northern reaches. The area's settlement pattern is highlighted by local family and community landmarks, including Atkins Cem and the Oak Grove Ch, while the Emporia Municipal Airport appears as a modern development in the western portion of the quadrangle. Hydrological features like Three Creek and Bellyache Swamp illustrate the drainage patterns that shaped local agriculture and early timber harvesting in this coastal plain region.
