1969 Map of Carson

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Carson sits at the intersection of local history and transportation in Dinwiddie County, positioned along the Seaboard Coast Line railroad near the border with Prince George and Sussex counties. The landscape is defined by the intricate drainage systems of Rowanty Creek and its many tributaries, including Arthur Run and Hatcher Run. This 1969 survey, updated in the early 1980s, reveals a rural community deeply rooted in its local institutions. Numerous country churches and their associated grounds, such as Tabernacle Ch and the Confederate Cem, are scattered throughout the territory. The presence of the Carson Sch and the settlement at Reams suggest a pattern of small, established rural hubs connected by historic routes like Halifax Road and Stage Road. Genealogists will find particular value in the detailed placement of family and community cemeteries like Rowanty Ch Cem and Shiloh Ch Cem.
