About this map

Amelia Court House serves as the central hub of this Virginia landscape, where the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks cut through the Piedmont terrain. This 1990s documentation reveals a community defined by its civic and educational institutions, including the Amelia Academy and Russell Grove High Sch. The surrounding countryside is dotted with established settlements like Winterham and Scotts Fork, connected by a network of creeks such as Smacks Creek and Beaverpond Creek.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from Big Oak Cem to numerous rural sanctuaries like St Pauls Ch and Little Bethel Ch. The presence of Painteps Store and various crossroads such as Wilsons Corner reflect the enduring rural economy of the late twentieth century. In the northern reaches, the Appomattox River forms a natural boundary, while inland features like the Davenport Pond and the heights of Manuza Hill shape the local drainage and land use.
