About this map

The Appomattox River winds through this landscape, forming the boundary between Chesterfield and Amelia counties and widening significantly into Lake Appomattox Chesdin. This waterway dominates the southern half of the area, creating features like Goose Island and receiving drainage from several winding streams, including Winticomack Creek and Pillarleg Branch. The 1968 photorevisions highlight the rising waters of the reservoir, a major change to the riverine environment.

Local settlement centers on Winterpock, where social life is anchored by the Winterpock Sch, Centenary Ch, and Tabernacle Ch. To the east, the rural character is defined by a network of creeks like Second Branch and Third Branch, with the Second Branch Ch serving as a local landmark. Further south, the map identifies Whites Store, illustrating the small-scale commerce that supported these rural Virginia communities before modern development transformed the region.
