About this map

The Appomattox River winds across the northern reaches of this Amelia County landscape, defining the border with Powhatan County. This rural terrain is characterized by a network of creeks and branches, including Flat Creek, Nibbs Cr, and Fighting Cr, which feed into the larger river system. Significant water features like Amelia Lake and Anderson Pond serve as focal points for the surrounding woodlands and farms.

Local history is preserved in the numerous small communities and burial grounds that dot the countryside. Researchers can trace the heritage of settlements like Chula, Fieldstown, and Elk Hill. The presence of the Dutch Reformed Cem and Grub Hill Cem indicates the diverse religious and cultural foundations of the region's early residents. Historic crossings and land divisions are marked by Giles Bridge and the intersection of Genito Rd and Old Chula Rd.
