About this map

The Nottoway River defines the southwestern corner of this Virginia landscape, where the boundaries of Dinwiddie, Sussex, and Greensville counties converge. This modern survey reveals a countryside deeply connected to its lineage, evidenced by a high density of family burial grounds such as Boisseau Cem, Rose Cem, and Abernathy Cem. These small family plots are scattered between long-established corridors like Old Stage Rd and Courthouse Rd, tracing a settlement pattern that predates the modern grid.

Water serves as a primary geographic anchor throughout the quadrangle, with Sappony Cr and Horsepen Br carving through the terrain. To the south, the landscape shifts toward the low-lying Harris Swamp and the man-made impoundments of Parsons Number Two and Parsons Number One Pond. This mapping record provides genealogists and local historians an exact look at the spatial relationship between old family homesteads and the drainage systems of the Smith Br and Hardwood Cr.
