2019 Map of Nathalie

About this map

The Roanoke River forms a natural boundary in the northeast corner of this Halifax County landscape, separating it from Charlotte County. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage, where Childrey Creek, Catawba Cr, and Terrible Creek carve through the countryside. This 2019 survey documents a rural settlement pattern centered on several small hubs, including Nathalie, Lennig, and Catawba. These communities are often anchored by local landmarks such as Saint Thomas Church and Childrey Church, which serve as long-standing geographic and social fixtures. Genealogy researchers will find several well-documented burial grounds, including Saint Thomas Cem and Catawba Cem, situated near these established settlements. The road network, comprising routes like Clarkton Rd and Volens Rd, connects these dispersed hamlets, illustrating a land use pattern that remains deeply tied to the natural watercourses and the historical divisions of Virginia's Southside.
