About this map

Hampden-Sydney College and its surroundings serve as the focal point for this survey of south-central Virginia. The landscape is defined by the headwaters and branches of the Bush River and Briery Cr, which feed into larger bodies of water such as Briery Lake and Sterling Lake. Historically significant sites are scattered throughout the region, including the Union Presbyterian Seminary Cem and several community burial grounds like New Bethel Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem.

The settlement pattern follows a network of rural routes such as Farmville Rd and Darlington Heights Rd, connecting small clusters at Worsham and Kingsville. The presence of Providence Airport and the distinct elevation of the Briery Hills characterize the varied terrain of Prince Edward County. This survey captures a balance between established academic institutions and the rural residential landscape that supports them.
