About this map

Ante and Harris Crossroads serve as central points in this rural Brunswick County landscape, where the Meherrin River winds through a network of creeks and family farms. The map documents a classic Southside Virginia settlement pattern, characterized by small communities like Pleasant Shade, Totaro, and Radium connected by an intricate web of local roads such as Halifax Rd and Brunswick Rd. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family and church burial sites scattered across the quadrangle, including the New Hope Zion Cemetery, Powell Cemetery, and Cordie Cemetery.

Water management is evident in the southern portion of the sheet at Doyle Lake, which is contained by Doyles Dam, and nearby Mitchells Dam on Fountains Creek. The presence of Webbs Mill and named agricultural operations like Hill Top Farm and Goose Berry Farm reflects the enduring agrarian character of the region. The drainage system is particularly dense here, with Reedy Creek, Brandy Creek, and Douglas Run defining the local topography.
