2010 Map of Chase City

About this map

Chase City serves as the central hub of this 2010 survey, showing the grid-pattern streets and civic markers of a significant Southside Virginia settlement. The landscape is defined by the drainage of the South Meherrin River to the north and numerous meandering waterways including Butcher Creek, Horsepen Creek, and Little Bluestone Creek. Civic life and community history are anchored by landmarks like the Chase City Post Office and the South Central Fairgrounds, while the local genealogy is preserved at Woodlawn Cemetery, Bethlehem Cemetery, and Friendship Cemetery. Outside the main town, smaller clusters like Fairview, Scotts Crossroads, and Esnon mark the rural intersections. The transition of the local economy and transport is visible in the placement of river crossings such as Tucker Mill Bridge and Rocky Mill Bridge, which hint at the region's agricultural and milling past near the South Meherrin River.
