About this map

The Appomattox River carves a winding path along the northern boundary of this survey, serving as the natural dividing line between Chesterfield and Amelia counties. This mid-century landscape is defined by its intricate drainage network, where numerous watercourses like Deep Creek, Smacks Creek, and Goode Creek feed into the larger river system. The settlement of Mannboro anchors the southern portion of the quadrangle, which at the time of the original field check in the 1960s, remained a rural community centered around local institutions.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of the Oak Grove Ch and the nearby Oak Grove Sch, as well as the Amelia Academy. Key transportation points across the water are noted at Goodes Bridge and Bevils Bridge, historical crossings that reflect long-standing transit patterns in the Virginia interior. The 1980s photorevisions, highlighted in purple, show subtle shifts in the woodland and clearing patterns since the 1943 survey it superseded.
