2010 Map of White Plains

About this map

Meherrin River tributaries define the landscape of this southern Virginia region, where the network of creeks including Genito Creek and Hays Creek dictates the placement of early settlements and agricultural crossings. Established communities such as White Plains and Gholsonville serve as local anchors, while named crossroads like Watkins Corner and Bowers Corner mark the intersection of rural routes like Robinson Ferry Rd and Dry Bread Rd. The map reveals a legacy of land ownership and local industry through features like Hicks Mill and the Pennington Bridge spanning the river. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family-named burial grounds dispersed throughout the countryside, including the Flournoy Cemetery, Davis Cemetery, and Taylor Cemetery, which provide clues to the generational homesteads of Brunswick County.
