2010 Map of Chula

About this map

The Appomattox River winds across the northern landscape of this Amelia County region, where the historic community of Chula sits at a crossroads of rail and road. The map reveals a rural pattern of development focused around old milling sites like Giles Mill and agricultural landings such as Elk Hill and Coverly. Significant local heritage is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Grub Hill Cemetery and the Dutch Reformed Cemetery near Masons Corner. The presence of the Amelia WMA and Amelia Lake suggests a landscape increasingly managed for conservation and recreation, while the Hill Top Airport and multiple private dams, including Whittington Dam and Sunders Dam, point to a diverse mix of land use across the drainage basins of Flat Creek and Fighting Creek.
