About this map

The Appomattox River winds through this rural landscape in the mid-1960s, forming the natural boundary between Chesterfield and Amelia Counties. This area preserves significant historical remnants of the American Civil War, most notably the Goode Civil War Trench situated near the crossing at Goodes Bridge. The settlement of Mannboro serves as a small community hub at the southern end of the map, anchored by local institutions such as the Amelia Academy and the nearby Oak Grove Ch.

A network of watercourses, including Deep Creek and Sappony Creek, defines the drainage patterns and historical property lines of the region. The map captures a moment of mid-century infrastructure with the inclusion of a Pipeline corridor cutting across the northern woods, while the presence of Oak Grove Sch and Bevils Bridge provides valuable geographic markers for genealogists and local historians tracking family land and community life in Southside Virginia.
