About this map

Appomattox Court House National Historical Park anchors the northern portion of this map, preserving the grounds of the 1865 surrender and the village of Old Appomattox Court House. The surrounding landscape transitions from the developed center of modern Appomattox to a network of rural hamlets and timbered creek bottoms. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of several significant drainage systems, including the S Fork Appomattox River and the Falling River, which flow through a topography of low ridges and winding branch lines.

Transportation corridors like Huxbury Rd and Trents Mill Rd connect outlying settlements such as Evergreen and Chap to the town center. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise location of family-named landmarks and resting places like Appomattox Cem and Evergreen Cem. The inclusion of Highview Farms Airport and the complex web of small streams like Big Cub Cr and Mulberry Cr illustrates the continued balance between modern aviation, rural homesteads, and the area's deep-seated agricultural roots.
