About this map

Cub Creek Cemetery and the surrounding rural landscape near the Roanoke River define this corner of Charlotte County during the early 21st century. The terrain is a network of creek drainages, including the prominent Cub Creek, Louse Creek, and Turnip Creek, which dictate the placement of small settlements and agricultural lanes. Small residential clusters like Aspen, Aspenwall, Camptown, and Wren are linked by a web of local roads such as Coles Ferry Rd and Prairie Rd.

The settlement of Phenix sits on the eastern edge of the survey, where the landscape transitions toward more frequent local thoroughfares. For those studying the history of the Virginia Piedmont, the map preserves the exact locations of family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure, from the Old Well in the north to the meandering paths of Buck Branch and Turkey Branch. It captures a community structured by water and tradition just before the second decade of the new millennium.
