2011 Map of Jarratt

About this map

Jarratt serves as the primary hub of this Southside Virginia landscape, situated where the interstate corridor intersects local routes near the Jarratt Post Office. The area is defined by an extensive network of waterways and wetlands, including the Nottoway River and Chetocric Swamp to the west, and Poplar Swamp to the east. These hydrologic features historically supported local industry, evidenced by Harrells Mill and the associated Harrells Mill Pond and Harrells Dam. Local family and community history is anchored by several burial grounds, such as High Hills Cemetery and Hassidiah Cemetery near the town center, and Jerusalem Cemetery further east. Small settlements like Owens, Henry, and Mason are scattered along the periphery, connected by rural corridors such as Kientz Rd and Grizzard Rd, reflecting the region's enduring agricultural and timber-land character.
