About this map

The Appomattox River carves a winding path along the northern reaches of Amelia County, serving as the primary geographic anchor for this rural Virginia landscape. Small settlements and local landmarks dot the terrain, from Giles Bridge in the northwest to the community of Chula in the southeast. The interior is defined by a network of drainage basins, including Flat Cr and Nibbs Cr, which frame scattered residential pockets like Fieldstown and Elk Hill.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, such as Grub Hill Cem and the Dutch Reformed Cem. The presence of Amelia Lake and Jones Lake suggests a landscape shaped by water management and recreation. This survey records the persistent agricultural and residential character of the region, where old road networks like Genito Rd and Grub Hill Church Rd continue to link these long-established localities.
