2022 Map of Virgilina
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
Virgilina straddles the state line where Halifax County, Virginia, meets Person and Granville counties in North Carolina. This borderland landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Hyco River and the sprawling reach of the Mayo Reservoir. The settlement pattern follows older agricultural ridges and the path of the Tobacco Heritage Trl, which connects the small communities of Christie and Red Bank. Local history is deeply rooted in the many rural congregational sites scattered across the terrain, including the First Black Baptist Church of Virgilina Cem and the Zion Hill Baptist Church Cem. The map reveals a sophisticated network of waterways like Aarons Cr and Big Bluewing Cr, which once supported the tobacco-driven economy of the Southside Virginia and North Carolina Piedmont.
