About this map

The Nottoway River defines the southern boundary of this landscape where the borders of Dinwiddie, Sussex, and Greensville counties converge. This interior Virginia terrain is defined by a dense network of family-named landmarks and ancestral burial grounds, including the Boisseau Cem, Rose Cem, and Abernathy Cem, suggesting a long history of local land ownership. The settlement of Cherry Hill sits in the western portion of the map, connected by rural corridors such as Old Stage Rd and Courthouse Rd.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with Sappony Cr and Harris Swamp threading through the woods. Numerous ponds, such as Parsons Number One Pond and Mayes Pond, indicate a managed water system likely tied to local agriculture or milling operations. The presence of so many distinct family cemeteries—such as Wells Cem, Bain Cem, and Reed Cem—makes this survey particularly valuable for genealogists tracing families in the Dinwiddie and Sussex county areas.
