1994 Map of Petersburg

South of the urban core, the terrain transitions into the creek-fed lowlands of Arthur Swamp and Warwick Swamp. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the detailed mapping of the historic Blandford Cemetery and the Poplar Grove National Cem, alongside institutional landmarks such as Virginia State University and the Central State Hospital. Small communities like Matoaca and Ettrick maintain their distinct footprints even as suburban development reaches toward the surrounding Dinwiddie County countryside.
