About this map

The Meherrin River defines the borderlands of southern Virginia and northern North Carolina, winding through a landscape of wetlands and established agricultural settlements. In the center of this 2016 survey, the town of Boykins serves as a local hub where several rural roads converge, including the General Thomas Hwy and Virginia Ave. North of the town center, the Beechwood Cem sits near the junction of Powells Hill Rd, while the community of Shiloh anchors the northern reaches.

Southward across the state line into North Carolina, the village of Severn is situated along Severn Rd, surrounded by the drainage networks of the Burnt Reeds Swamp and Buckhorn Swamp. The map details the transition from the upland communities like Cross Keys to the river bottoms, where features like Boone Bridge and the Mann Airport reflect the mix of traditional transport and modern utility in this bi-state corridor.
