From the center of Farmville, go north on VA 45, and zero odometer at the county line, marked only by a sign,
"Leaving Town Of Farmville." Drive 2.2 miles north to the junction with CR 657. A large facility,
possibly job training or social services related, marked, "Southside Enterprises" occupies the northeast
corner of the junction and provides a convenient place to park.
A large oak to the rear of the facility seemed to mark the highest ground. From the map, I would have
expected the 520-foot contour to be a little further away, but there is no apparent higher ground in the area,
and the ground may well have been disturbed. The 520-foot contour to the south is occupied by several houses.
Highest ground appears to be at or near house #1875. Easy touch and run.
