1966 Map of Wightman

About this map

The South Meherrin River and North Meherrin River converge at the boundary of Lunenburg Co and Mecklenburg Co, defining a landscape of rolling agricultural land and dense riverine systems. In this mid-century rural corridor, the community of Wightman serves as a central point along the roads connecting numerous family-named landmarks like Cox Corner and Pettys Corner. The importance of local congregational life is evident in the dense concentration of country churches, including Mt Horeb Ch and Union Ch, often located at strategic crossroads near small cemeteries.
