2010 Map of Hampden Sydney

About this map

Hampden Sydney serves as the focal point of this Prince Edward County landscape, where the historic college grounds are detailed with landmarks like Fraternity Circle and Penshurst Lawn. This area of Virginia is characterized by a network of waterways that define property and community boundaries, most notably the winding course of Briery Creek and the Bush River. The map documents a predominantly rural and academic environment, with small settlements like Worsham and Kingsville clustered near the college. Local history is deeply embedded in the land, evident in the numerous burial grounds such as Seminary Cemetery and New Wit Cemetery. The Presence of Providence Airport and roads like Roxbury Rd suggest the modern infrastructure connecting these long-standing communities, while water control features such as Sterling Lake Dam illustrate the local management of the region's aquatic resources.
