About this map

The Appomattox River carves a winding boundary between Cumberland and Prince Edward counties, anchoring a landscape defined by its deep historical roots. In the community of Rice, the convergence of local roads like Monroe Church Rd and the presence of Pisgah Cem reflect a pattern of small rural settlements. Further north, the prominent landmark of High Bridge stands as a significant geographic and historical point near the High Bridge Cem.

Family and community history is etched across the terrain through numerous burial grounds, including Bethel Grove Cem, Monroe Cem, and Jamestown Cem. Large water bodies such as Hicks Lake, Ingle Lake, and Wilcks Pond punctuate the wooded uplands, while several tributaries like Saylers Creek and Bush River drain into the primary river valley. The map also records small named locales like Stoddert and the eastern edge of Farmville, providing a detailed look at this Virginia Piedmont region.
