About this map

The Appomattox River winds through this landscape on the Powhatan and Amelia county line, defining the southern border of several rural communities. Small settlements such as Moseley, Clayville, and Skinquarter are connected by a network of backroads like Genito Rd and Skinquarter Rd, reflecting a traditional Piedmont pattern of crossroads hamlets. Genealogists will find significant local history at Grace Cemetery, Liberty Cemetery, and Skinquarter Cemetery, which mark the centers of long-standing rural neighborhoods.

Water plays a central role in the topography here, with Butterwood Creek and Skinquarter Creek feeding into the main river channel. Local landmarks like Tates Dam on Tates Pond and Crawford Dam show the management of these smaller tributaries. The presence of Goode Crossing and names like Mattoax suggest the historical transport routes that once facilitated the movement of goods and people through this part of Virginia.
