2022 Map of Blackstone East

About this map

Blackstone stands as the primary urban center in this contemporary survey of Nottoway County, which transitions from a structured municipal grid to the expansive military and educational grounds of the Allen C Perkinson Blackstone Army Airfield. The southeastern portion of the town gives way to the campus of Southside Virginia Community College, situated within the former Pickett Park area. This landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where Hurricane Br and Birchin Creek feed into the southward-flowing Nottoway River. To the northeast, the recreation and conservation lands of Twin Lakes contrast with the technical and industrial layout of the airfield and its surrounding training roads. For those researching local heritage, the Spring Hill Baptist Church Cem offers a point of genealogical interest at the northern edge of the settlement.
