2016 Map of Sunbeam

About this map

Sunbeam and Statesville anchor this rural landscape along the Virginia and North Carolina border, where the terrain is defined by a complex network of slow-moving waterways and mill-related sites. The Meherrin River meanders across the southern portion of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Buckhorn Cr and Liverman Cr. The local reliance on water for early industry and transport is evident in features like Windbourne Mill Pond and Darden Mill Run, while the crossing at Harts Bridge suggests established routes through the swampy lowlands.
