2022 Map of Crewe West

About this map

Burkeville serves as the central hub of this Southside Virginia landscape, where modern highway corridors intersect older local routes. The geography is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Lazaretto Cr, Saylers Cr, and the Little Nottoway River, which carve through the terrain between Burkes Tavern and the western edge of Crewe. This era shows a community deeply rooted in its family lands, evidenced by the numerous small burial grounds scattered throughout the quadrangle, such as Cook Cem, Vaughns Cem, and Thomas Cem. The conversion of older rail infrastructure is visible in the High Bridge Trl, which follows the historic railroad grade through the northwest. Meanwhile, rural life persists along named roads like Old Plank Rd and Raccoon Crossing Rd, preserving the traditional settlement patterns of Nottoway and Prince Edward counties.
