1921 Map of Lawrenceville

About this map

Lawrenceville serves as the focal point of this 1921 survey, situated within a landscape defined by the drainage basins of the Nottoway River to the north and the Meherrin River to the south. The area reflects a rural Virginia economy centered on tobacco and timber, as evidenced by the namesake settlement of Tobacco and numerous water-powered sites like Wheeler Mill and Masons Mill. A complex web of transit connections defines the county's development, with the Virginian, Seaboard Air Line, and Southern railroads intersecting near significant local centers such as Alberta and Dolphin.
