About this map

The Meherrin River meanders across the border of Virginia and North Carolina, defining the landscape of the coastal plain between Southampton, Northampton, and Hertford Counties. The town of Boykins serves as a central hub, where Virginia Ave and Main St intersect amidst a network of rural roads such as Old Branchville Rd and Cross Keys Rd. The area is characterized by significant wetlands, including Buckhorn Swamp and Burnt Reed Swamp, which illustrate the low-lying nature of the Tidewater region.

Local landmarks such as Beechwood Cem and Boone Bridge provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. To the west, Branchville sits near the winding riverbanks, while the southern portion of the map transitions into North Carolina near the settlement of Severn. Transportation and infrastructure are represented by Mann Airport and roads like General Thomas Hwy, highlighting the area's continued role as a rural crossroads.
