2016 Map of Church Road

About this map

Namozine and the surrounding rural landscape of Amelia and Dinwiddie Counties are defined by a network of creeks and small family cemeteries. This part of Virginia, southwest of the James River, retains much of its mid-century character, with agriculture and timberlands punctuated by small communities like Walkers and Church Road. The southern portion of the map is notable for including a section of the Petersburg National Battlefield, marking the historic ground south of the Appomattox River. The landscape is drained by numerous waterways including Namozine Cr, Whipponock Creek, and Hatcher Run. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial grounds throughout the area, such as Mount Poole Cem, Corinth Cem, and Mispah Cem, which often serve as the primary physical markers for generations of local families in this quiet stretch of the Virginia interior.
