Gasburg, VA

Gasburg is an unincorporated Brunswick County community on the Virginia side of Lake Gaston. The 2020 census counted 408 residents. Its current map is tied to the reservoir: Lake Gaston Resort and marina facilities use a Gasburg address, while the wider lake has about 20,300 acres of water and roughly 350 miles of shoreline. Brunswick County's recreational network includes fishing, hunting, boating, and public lake access, with the county's larger service centers handling schools, libraries, and government.

The old and new parts of Gasburg meet at the Kennon House, which Brunswick County lists among its historic treasures. The resort's marina, boat docks, ramp, campground, restaurant, pools, and recreation facilities make the lakeshore a service and visitor corridor, while Gasburg itself remains an unincorporated place under county government. On summer weekends, lake traffic and local roads bring the reservoir into everyday county life. Gasburg's local map is geographic: a small county community whose name appears on addresses around a major reservoir, with historic property, resort infrastructure, and county roads tying it to Southside Virginia.
