About this map

John H. Kerr Reservoir dominates the landscape south of Clarksville, where the jagged shoreline of the impounded waters defines the border between Virginia and North Carolina. The map traces the fingers of the reservoir as they reach into the drainage basins of Beaver Pond Cr, Lick Br, and Spewmarrow Creek. This 2019 survey captures a transition from the structured street grid of the town to the rural outlying settlements of Buffalo Junction, Sandy Fork, and Puryear Corner.

Genealogists will find several family and community burial grounds documented across the terrain, including Oakhurst Cem and Ligon Cem. Educational and infrastructure developments are prominent, notably the Southside Virginia Community College - Clarksville Enrichment Complex and the Lake Country Regional Airport. The topography south of the state line in Granville County remains largely defined by the dense network of small streams and creeks that feed the larger reservoir system.
