Prince Edward County by land and water

The Census records 3.89 square miles of water within Prince Edward County, or 1.1% of its total area. That share is close to Prince Edward County’s 1.1%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Prince Edward County has 90.2 times the land area of nearby Hampden-Sydney CDP (3.88 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

The Census boundary meets Amelia County, Appomattox County, Buckingham County, Charlotte County, Cumberland County, Lunenburg County, Nottoway County within Virginia. A tract near one of these lines should be matched to the county identifier on its own records.
