About this map

The crossroads community of Madisonville anchors this survey of Virginia's Southside, situated near the intersection of several regional routes and the undulating terrain of Lyle Mtn. The landscape is defined by its intricate drainage network, including the headwaters of Little Cub Cr, Cub Creek, and Horsepen Creek, which flow through heavily wooded contours. Further south, the rural settlement of Taro lies near a series of managed water bodies, most notably the Roanoke Creek Site 6a Lake.

Genealogists will find value in the documentation of several local burial sites, such as Salem Cem, Mount Lyle Cem, and Oaks Cem, which are scattered throughout the hills. The eastern portion of the quadrangle shows industrial influence via the Industrial Waste Pond near Baker Mtn and the Spring Creek Lake. The map clearly delineates the convergence of several county boundaries, marking the meeting points of Appomattox, Charlotte, and Prince Edward Counties.
