About this map

The Roanoke River and Dan River converge in this Southern Virginia landscape, dominated by the expansive waters of the John H Kerr Reservoir. The map reveals a complex shoreline where numerous tributaries like Little Bluestone Creek and Sandy Creek meet the reservoir, creating a series of peninsulas and sheltered coves. The town of Clarksville sits at the southern edge, connected to the northern bank by the Phillip Saint Julian Wilson Bridge.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community landmarks, including Prestwould and the Dortch Store. The map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, such as Ephesus Cemetery and Burwell Cemetery, alongside small crossroads like Hanford Crossroads. Points of interest such as Perfect Point and the Clarksville Overlook provide specific geographic context for the area's development around the reservoir and its hydroelectric landmarks like Morgans Dam.
