1997 Map of Skippers

About this map

Skippers and the surrounding rural crossroads of southern Virginia and northern North Carolina are documented here in detail. The landscape is defined by its low-lying drainage networks, where Fontaine Creek and Beaverpond Creek wind through heavily wooded tracts. The settlement pattern is largely agricultural, centered on established family and community landmarks such as Turners Crossroads and Brewers Crossroads. Genealogists will find a high density of small community centers, including Zion Ch, Corinth Ch, and Diamond Grove Ch, alongside scattered family burial grounds like Robinson Cem and the Wyche Cem. The geography transitions across the state line into Northampton County, following the course of Jacks Swamp and Caney Swamp as they move toward Corwells Millpond.
