2016 Map of Nathalie

About this map

Nathalie serves as the central hub for this rural stretch of Southside Virginia, where the landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Childrey Creek and Birch Cr. The map reveals a network of small, established communities including Catawba, Lennig, and Rabat, many connected by historically significant routes like Nathalie Rd and Railroad Dr. Genealogy researchers will find several localized burial sites, such as Saint Thomas Cem and Catawba Cem, which anchor the surrounding farmsteads. The northeastern corner is bounded by the Roanoke River, highlighting the transition from upland ridges to fertile river lowlands. This survey illustrates a settlement pattern where residential clusters and family-named landmarks are closely tied to the many tributaries of Terrible Creek and Blackwater Cr.
