2016 Map of Ante

About this map

The Meherrin River meanders across this landscape of southern Virginia, defining the boundary-heavy terrain where small settlements and family holdings have persisted for generations. This survey reflects the rural character of the region, anchored by the community of Ante and the riverside location of Webbs Mill. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it identifies numerous family-named burial sites including the Phillips Cem, Powell Cem, and Bowen Cem. North of the river, the settlement of Totaro sits near the New Hope Zion Cem, while the eastern portion of the sheet transitions across the Brunswick and Greensville county line. Roadways like Halifax Rd and Dry Bread Rd trace historical paths through a landscape of creeks and pond systems, including Doyle Lake and Mitchells Pond.
