About this map

The Appomattox Court House National Historical Park anchors the northern portion of this landscape, preserving the site of the historic surrender in central Virginia. The town of Appomattox itself is a primary focal point, showing the concentrated layout of the Appomattox County Courthouse, the Appomattox Post Office, and the Appomattox Cem. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including the S Fork Appomattox River and Falling River, which carve through the undulating countryside.

Rural life is represented by smaller settlements such as Evergreen to the southeast and Chap to the south. Local transit and agricultural patterns are evident in the naming of rural roads like Cornfield Ln and Soybean Dr. Aviation interests are noted at the Highview Farms Airport, while family-history researchers can trace local lineage through sites like Evergreen Cem and distinctive landmarks like Muddy Gray Patch Rd.
