About this map

Winterpock and the surrounding woodlands of Chesterfield County are captured here during a period of transition as the Appomattox River was transformed by the creation of Lake Chesdin. This survey shows the expanded reservoir reaching into the rural landscape, partially submerging the river valley near Goose Island. The area maintains its established community character, centered around local institutions like the Winterpock Sch and a network of country churches including Centenary Ch, Tabernacle Ch, and Bethia Ch.

The southern portion of the map traces the complex boundaries where Chesterfield, Amelia, and Dinwiddie counties meet. Small settlements such as Whites Store and the original Winterpock townsite are shown alongside numerous drainages like Winterpock Creek and Winticomack Creek. This map preserves the layout of rural crossroads and family-connected landmarks just as the regional hydrography was being permanently altered.
