2022 Map of Chase City

About this map

Chase City serves as the primary hub of this Mecklenburg County landscape, where the local street grid intersects with the Tobacco Heritage Tr. This rails-to-trails corridor highlights the region's agricultural transition, replacing former rail lines that once moved tobacco through southern Virginia. The area's settlement pattern is defined by several small communities and crossroads such as Thynedale, Scotts Crossroad, and Finneywood. Education and infrastructure are represented by the Southside Virginia Community College Estes Community Center and the Hazelswart Airport to the northeast. To the north, the South Meherrin River forms a natural boundary near the Lunenburg Co line. Numerous family and community burial grounds, including Woodlawn Cem and Bethlehem Cem, are scattered across the terrain, offering significant touchpoints for genealogical research in this long-settled rural district.
