2019 Map of Darvills

About this map

Darvills serves as the central hub for this rural portion of Dinwiddie County, where a network of family-named roads and country cemeteries defines the landscape. The settlement is anchored by the presence of Sharon Cem nearby, while other historic burials such as Butterwood Cem and Booth Cem are scattered across the surrounding woods and fields. This area is characterized by an intricate drainage system, with numerous tributaries including Butterwood Creek and Beaver Pond Cr carving through the terrain. The road network, featuring names like Gills Bridge Rd and White Oak Church Rd, suggests a long history of local travel between small farmsteads and rural parishes. The land remains largely undeveloped, preserving the traditional drainage patterns of Turkey Egg Cr and Birchin Creek as they meander through the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
