2011 Map of Parksville

About this map

J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir defines the southwestern landscape of this region, providing a modern shoreline for the Hamilton Branch Campground. The settlement of Parksville stands at the edge of this transition, where the reservoir meets the complex drainage system of Stevens Creek and Turkey Creek. This 2011 survey documents a rural environment shaped by several small communities and historical family-named landmarks including Whitetown, Parks Mill, and Prices Mill. Genealogists may find value in the various burial grounds identified, such as New Hope Cemetery and the adjacent Rohoboth Cemetery and Old Rohoboth Cemetery. The network of backroads, including Prices Mill Rd and Key Rd, links these dispersed settlements with recreational sites like the Key Bridge Hunt Camp and the Byrd Creek Rifle Range.
