1968 Map of Jetersville

About this map

The Southern railroad corridor dictates the settlement pattern across this rural landscape, running diagonally through the heart of the region. The village of Jetersville stands as a primary hub along the line, accompanied by the community at Maplewood to the northeast. This area of central Virginia is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Flat Creek and Buckskin Creek, which carve through the terrain and create the natural boundaries between farms and timber tracts. A strong sense of community life is evident in the distribution of country churches, such as Union Branch Ch, St James Ch, and Ebenezer Ch, which are scattered along the secondary roads. The map also records the boundary line between Amelia Co and Nottoway Co, showing how political divisions intersect the various branches of Nibbs Creek and Beaverpond Creek.
