About this map

The N Meherrin River and N Fork Nottoway River serve as the primary drainage for this Southside Virginia landscape, where small rural crossroads define the settlement pattern. At the intersection of 360 and Va-728, the community of Meherrin anchors the northwestern corner, while south toward the river, Arvins Store and Moores Corner represent traditional local hubs near the landmark known as Double Bridges.

Creeks such as Tussekiah Cr and Ledbetter Cr branch across the territory, supporting a history of small-scale industry and agriculture evidenced by the Blakenship Mill Pond. The mapping of small hamlets like Scholfield and Nutbush provides a detailed look at the persistence of these communities into the early 21st century. The density of named local roads, including Germantown Rd and Doswell Town Rd, reflects a landscape deeply partitioned by long-standing family and community boundaries.
