2016 Map of Ballsville

About this map

The Appomattox River winds through this central Virginia landscape, defining the border between Powhatan and Amelia Counties. In this agricultural region, the 2016 survey illustrates a pattern of small settlements and river-adjacent industries that have persisted over time. Clementown Mills stands as a focal point near Little Bent Cr, while the crossroads at Ballsville and Tobaccoville remain tied to the area's rural history. This map provides critical detail for family researchers tracing lineages in this part of the Piedmont, where the land is carved by numerous tributaries like Horsepen Cr and Flat Cr. Genealogists will find the exact placement of family burial grounds such as Piedmont Cem and Flower Hill Cem particularly valuable for locating ancestral home sites in the vicinity of Lodore and Haw Branch. The concentration of rural roads, including Genito Rd and Clementown Rd, highlights the connectivity of these dispersed farming communities.
