2016 Map of Blackstone East

About this map

Blackstone occupies the western edge of this territory, where the urban street grid meets the expansive grounds of the Allen C Perkinson Airport/Blackstone Army Airfield. This military and aviation hub dominates the central landscape, surrounded by a complex network of rural routes like Wellville Rd and Butterwood Rd. The topography is defined by the numerous water bodies and drainage systems that feed the region, including Butterwood Lake, Birchin Lake, and the larger Nottoway Reservoir to the south. The Norfolk Southern railroad cuts through the northwestern corner, continuing its legacy of transit through Nottoway County. Local landmarks such as Rocky Bump Rd and the family-named Pridgen Ln suggest a landscape where long-standing homesteads and modern infrastructure coexist alongside the creek beds of Birchin Creek and Tommeheton Cr.
