About this map

Burkeville and the nearby western edge of Crewe define this Piedmont landscape, where the transport corridor of U.S. Route 460 and the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks intersect. The map records a dense network of local family history through numerous small burial grounds, including Sunset Hill Cem and Olive Branch Cem near the town center, and more isolated sites like Thomas Cem and Vaughns Cem scattered across the countryside.

Waterways like Lazaretto Cr and Flat Cr flow through the undulating terrain toward the Little Nottoway River in the south. Notable historic transit routes are preserved in the naming of Lewiston Plank Rd and Raccoon Crossing Rd, reflecting older regional patterns of movement. The presence of the landmark Burkes Tavern further highlights the area's long-standing role as a crossroads for travelers between the Prince Edward and Nottoway county lines.
