1920 Map of White Plains

About this map

Meherrin River and Roanoke River define the agricultural landscape along the border of Virginia and North Carolina in this 1920 survey. The area is densely settled with small crossroads and rural institutions, particularly evident in the concentration of educational and religious sites such as Zion Union School No 1, Meherrin School, and St Pauls Chapel. Commercial life is anchored by family-named landmarks like Drumgoole Store and Phipps Store, alongside essential infrastructure like Hicks Mill and Starks Mill.
