About this map

The Middle Meherrin River and its various tributaries, including Knights Creek and Stokes Creek, carve through this rural landscape along the borders of Charlotte, Lunenburg, and Mecklenburg counties. During the mid-1960s, the region was defined by a network of local stores and community anchors such as Wallaces Store, Kunath Store, and Robertson Store. The Southern railroad line serves as a primary transit corridor, connecting the settlements of Ontario and Finneywood.

Genealogists and local historians can locate numerous rural landmarks, including the West End Sch and several churches like Salem Ch and Mt Zion Ch. The map provides a detailed view of small crossroad communities such as Plantersville, Five Forks, and Blevins Corner. A prominent pipeline corridor cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the infrastructure developments of the era alongside traditional farmsteads and family-named locations like Kells Corner.
