2013 Map of Boykins

About this map

Boykins and Branchville anchor this 2013 survey of the Virginia and North Carolina borderlands, where the Meherrin River meanders across a landscape defined by its blackwater swamps and rural crossings. The settlement of Severn sits just south of the state line, connected to the larger community at Boykins by a network of local routes including the General Thomas Hwy. The topography is notably influenced by the drainage basins of Buckhorn Swamp and Burnt Reeds Swamp, which feed into the primary river system.
