2016 Map of Charlotte Court House

About this map

Charlotte Court House serves as the focal point of this Southside Virginia landscape, situated where the ridge-top roads of the Piedmont converge. The surrounding territory is defined by a dense network of creek drainages including Wards Fork Cr and Cub Cr, which feed south toward the Roanoke River. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet preserves the locations of numerous family and community sites, such as Evergreen Cem, Martin Cem, and Gillispie Cem. Small rural settlements like Womacks, Phenix, and Cullen are mapped along the winding routes of Germantown Rd and Virginian Rd. The presence of the Layne Farm Airstrip and reservoirs like Roanoke Cr Site 35-A Lake reflect more recent land-use patterns in this traditionally agricultural region, where the terrain remains deeply carved by the persistent flow of Terrys Cr and Sandy Cr.
