About this map

Amelia Court House serves as the focal point of this Piedmont landscape, situated where local routes meet the bypass of Highway 360. The area is defined by a dense network of family-named roads and historical sites, including several significant burial grounds like the Virginia Veterans Cem at Amelia and the Amelia Cem. The terrain is shaped by the drainage systems of Beaverpond Creek and Smacks Cr, which feed into several local bodies of water such as Owenbys Lake and Davenport Pond.

Smaller settlements and rural junctions like Winterham and Scotts Fork punctuate the eastern and northern reaches of the quadrangle. The survey reveals a transition from the structured residential blocks near the county seat to the sprawling agricultural tracts and timberlands near the Chesterfield County line. Researchers will find numerous named landmarks like Big Oak Cem and Rennie Cem that offer a window into the genealogical history of the region.
