About this map

The Meherrin River and its major tributaries, the N Meherrin River and S Meherrin River, define this Southside Virginia landscape. The area is characterized by a network of crossroads settlements and family-named corners that reflect a long-standing rural community structure. Reekes Mill sits at a historically significant drainage point, while residential and community hubs like Wightman, Drapersville, and Wilburn are connected by a web of local roads such as Wightman Rd and Old Cox Rd.

Aviation and recreation are present through the Twin Towers Airport and the Church Camp near Buckhorn Cr. The map preserves numerous specific locales such as Gregory Corner, Cox Corner, and Pettys Corner, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research and local history. These small, distinct points of interest, including the Traffic Bridge over Dry Cr, provide a detailed view of Lunenburg County's infrastructure and community layout in the early twenty-first century.
