About this map

Petersburg National Battlefield sits at the southeastern edge of this terrain, marking a landscape defined by its Civil War heritage and deep-rooted rural communities. The map traces the boundary between Amelia Co and Dinwiddie Co as it follows the winding course of Namozine Cr. Settlements like Namozine, Walkers, and the namesake Church Road are linked by a network of local thoroughfares including Cox Rd and Namozine Rd.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of family and community burial sites, from the Mount Poole Baptist Church Cem to smaller plots like Mispah Cem, Norris Cem, and Whites Cem. The drainage patterns of Whipponock Cr and Hatcher Run illustrate the hydrology of the Virginia Piedmont, where small tributaries like Pucketts Br and Tylers Br feed into the larger creek systems that shaped early settlement patterns.
