About this map

The town of Blackstone serves as the hub for this landscape on the eastern edge of Nottoway County, where a transition from town streets to expansive aeronautical and military infrastructure is evident. The Allen C Perkinson Blackstone Army Airfield occupies a significant portion of the central terrain, its runways and taxiways surrounded by a network of service roads like Gettysburg Rd and Wilcox Rd.

Hydrology dictates the character of the surrounding countryside, with numerous reservoirs and named creeks carving through the topography. The Nottoway Reservoir and Pryor Road Reservoir provide substantial water features alongside several smaller impoundments such as Butterwood Lake and Birchin Lake. These waters feed a complex system of tributaries, including Hurricane Br, Tommeheton Cr, and Birchin Cr, which define the drainage patterns before reaching the county boundaries of Dinwiddie and Brunswick.
