2016 Map of Farmville

About this map

The Appomattox River carves through this Central Virginia landscape, serving as the border between Cumberland and Prince Edward counties and defining the northern edge of the historic town of Farmville. This 2016 survey highlights the significant academic footprint of the region, anchored by the Longwood University campus in the heart of town and the storied community of Hampden-Sydney to the south. The transportation corridor follows the winding path of modern highways and old routes like Old Plank Road, while the aviation history of the area is noted at the Farmville Regional Airport and the Big Buffalo Airstrip. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites across the quadrangle, from the large Westview Cemetery and the Confederate Cemetery to smaller family and community grounds like Friedman Cemetery and Coleman Cemetery.
