2016 Map of Powellton

About this map

Ft Hill Fort Christanna stands as a prominent historical landmark overlooking the Meherrin River, anchoring a landscape defined by its network of rural settlements and family burial grounds in Brunswick County. This 2016 survey documents the enduring spatial layout of communities such as Lawrenceville, Brunswick, and Powellton. The river is spanned by notable structures including the Gholson Bridge and Westward Bridge, while the surrounding terrain is etched with numerous family and community cemeteries. Genealogists will find particular value in the distribution of sites like Hardy Cem, Lynch Cem, and Vaughan Cem. The transition from the town center of Lawrenceville Hills to the outlying crossings of Coldwater Cr and Great Cr reflects a classic Virginia Piedmont pattern of scattered farmsteads and small crossroad hamlets connected by narrow county roads.
