2013 Map of Crewe West

About this map

Burkeville serves as the central hub of this Southside Virginia landscape, where the convergence of major transit corridors defines the local geography. The settlement of Crewe occupies the eastern edge, connected by a network of roads and rail paths that pass through smaller locales like Mutt and Jennings Ordinary. The terrain is deeply etched by a complex drainage system, including the Little Nottoway River in the south and numerous creeks such as Lazaretto Cr and Carys Cr that flow through the timbered tracts and agricultural fields. To the west, Burkes Tavern stands near the headwaters of Saylers Cr, marking a point of long-standing local significance. This map documents a modern view of a region defined by its rural intersections and the persistent naming of its waterways and old crossroads settlements like Oliveville.
