1964 Map of Clayville

About this map

The Appomattox River forms the southwestern boundary of this rural Virginia landscape, where the confluence of Chesterfield, Powhatan, and Amelia counties meets. The Southern railroad serves as the primary spine for local commerce, connecting the settlements of Moseley, Dorset, and Clayville. This mid-century survey illustrates a quiet agricultural and industrial transition, highlighted by Hands Quarry and a Gravel Pit near Genito. Community life is rooted in numerous country churches such as Antioch Ch and Graceland Ch, alongside the Grange Hall Sch. The drainage network is particularly detailed, tracing the winding paths of Skinquarter Creek, Butterwood Creek, and Swift Creek through the wooded terrain. Historical tracing is possible through small hamlets like Pilkinton and river crossings at Goode Crossing.
