About this map

The Nottoway River and its major tributaries, including Three Creek and Hardwood Creek, carve a rural landscape in southern Virginia defined by a legacy of family farming and religious community. At Fields Crossroads, the intersection of Purdy Rd and Wyatts Mill Rd serves as a geographic anchor for nearby agricultural landmarks like Elm Grove Farm and Orion Vue Farm.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of family-named sites and burial grounds. The map documents the Jackson-Field Episcopal Home and several historic interments including Trisvan Cemetery, Cowie Cemetery, and Saint Johns Cemetery. From the crossing at Lazottes Ford to the small settlement at Purdy, the 2010 survey reflects an area that has maintained its pastoral character through the 20th century, with landmarks like Double Bridge and Cowie Corner marking the enduring road networks of Greensville County.
