1964 Map of Mannboro

About this map

The Appomattox River carves a winding path across this rural landscape, serving as the natural boundary between Chesterfield and Amelia Counties. During the mid-1960s, the area around Mannboro maintained its agricultural character, evidenced by the scattered farmsteads and numerous small waterways like Deep Run and Winticomack Creek that drain into the main river valley. This survey reveals a community anchored by local institutions, including the Amelia Academy and several rural centers of worship and education such as Oak Grove Ch and the nearby Oak Grove Sch. Historic crossings like Goodes Bridge and Bevils Bridge remain vital links in the regional road network. The map detail highlights the intricate drainage systems of the Virginia Piedmont, where small streams like Sweathouse Creek and Beaverpond Creek define the local topography.
