2019 Map of Meherrin

About this map

Meherrin and the rural borderlands between Prince Edward and Lunenburg Counties are defined by a complex network of headwater streams in this modern survey. The terrain is deeply carved by the N Fork Nottoway River and the N Meherrin River, with numerous smaller tributaries like Tussekiah Cr, Modest Cr, and Ledbetter Cr creating a distinctive undulating landscape. Small rural communities such as Scholfield and Nutbush anchor the local road network, while the presence of the Bruce Cem and Spencer Cem provides essential touchpoints for genealogical research. The local geography is further characterized by water features like the Blakenship Mill Pond, which points to the area's historical reliance on milling and creek-side industry.
