2013 Map of Virgilina

About this map

Virgilina sits at the heart of this landscape, straddling the borderlands of the Virginia and North Carolina Piedmont. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Big Bluewing Cr, Little Bluewing Cr, and Wolfpit Run, which drain the rolling terrain between rural settlements. Along the western edge, the Mayo Reservoir and the Hyco River introduce significant water bodies into the local geography. Evidence of the region’s social and industrial history is found in the naming of local roads and communities. Small clusters like Christie, Shady Grove, and Red Bank are connected by routes that point to former centers of local activity, such as High Plains School Rd, Zion Hill Church Loop, and High View Church Rd. The presence of Dirgie Mine Rd suggests a history of mineral extraction in this part of the state line region.
