2019 Map of Skippers

About this map

Skippers and Dahlia anchor this detailed study of the Virginia and North Carolina borderlands as they appeared in 2019. The landscape is defined by the drainage networks of Fountains Creek and the low-lying Caney Swamp, where numerous small tributaries like Massie Br and Cattail Cr carve through the coastal plain. Historically significant crossroads and small settlements such as Brewers Crossroads and Mitchells Mill reflect a long-established rural layout. Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites documented across the terrain, including Vincent Cem, Wyche Cem, and Robinson Cem. The map provides a clear view of the state line separating Greensville County, Virginia, from Northampton County, North Carolina, illustrating how modern infrastructure follows the contours of the land around older landmarks like Turners Crossroads.
