About this map

Appomattox serves as the primary hub of this region, situated at the headwaters of several critical drainage systems including the Falling River and the South Fork Appomattox River. The town is well-documented with the Appomattox Post Office and the expansive Appomattox Cemetery, reflecting its role as a local center of commerce and community memory. To the southeast, the smaller settlement of Evergreen sits near its own namesake Evergreen Cemetery, while the locality of Chap anchors the southern reaches of the quadrangle.

The topography is defined by an intricate network of waterways such as Big Cub Creek, Purdums Branch, and Maple Spring Branch that carve through the central landscape. Significant infrastructure is noted at the East Fork Falling River Number 21 Dam, marking modern water management efforts. This survey captures a moment in the early 21st century where the established town of Appomattox continues to dominate the transportation and civic life of the county.
