2010 Map of Darvills

About this map

Darvills sits at the center of this rural Dinwiddie County landscape, characterized by a dense network of country roads and small creek branches. The 2010 geography reveals a place where local heritage is preserved in the Sharon Cemetery and Butterwood Cemetery, both of which are central to the community's local history. A notable portion of the western boundary is defined by the edge of Fort Pickett, a significant regional military installation. Hydrological features dominate the southern half of the quadrangle, where Tommeheton Lake is held by the Tommeheton Lake Dam. The terrain is finely drained by a series of waterways, including Butterwood Creek, Turkey Egg Creek, and White Oak Creek, illustrating the traditional agricultural and timber-based drainage patterns of this part of southern Virginia.
