2022 Map of Forksville

About this map

The Meherrin River meanders across the southern portion of this landscape, marking the natural boundary where Lunenburg and Mecklenburg counties meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Stony Creek, Kettlesticks Creek, and Flat Rock Creek, which carve through the rural countryside. Small crossroads communities and historical hubs such as Stones Mill and Bacons Fork anchor the northern sections, while the northern edge of South Hill appears in the southwest. For genealogists, the map is a significant record of local family and community history, preserving the locations of numerous burial grounds such as Neblett Cem, McDaniel Cem, and Hite Cem. The namesake settlement of Forksville sits near the intersection of modern transit and older rural routes, illustrating the gradual evolution of Southside Virginia's transportation network.
