2016 Map of South Boston

About this map

South Boston serves as the focal point of this Halifax County landscape, where the Dan River snakes through the center of the terrain. The community of Riverdale sits just south of the riverbanks, connected to the main town by the Tucker C Watkins Memorial Bridge and the Randolph Bridge. This area exhibits a dense concentration of local heritage sites, including Oak Ridge Cem and Halifax Memorial Gardens, alongside several outlying burial grounds like Cherry Hill Cem and Pleasant Grove Cem. To the north, the county seat of Halifax and the settlement of Centerville define the upper corridor, while the southern reaches transition into the rolling topography of Cluster Springs. The presence of the John H Kerr Reservoir in the east and numerous creek systems like Lawsons Cr and Stokes Cr illustrates the well-watered nature of this Virginia Piedmont region.
