1963 Map of Cherry Hill

About this map

Sappony Creek and its complex network of tributaries, including Millrun Branch and Double Branch, define the topography of this rural landscape where the boundaries of Dinwiddie and Sussex counties meet. Historically anchored by small commerce centers like Wharfs Store, Cherry Hill, and Bolsters Store, the region is characterized by a high density of family-named cemeteries such as Boisseau Cem, Galusha Cem, and Winfield Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. Local spiritual and educational life is represented by structures like Mt Olivet Ch and the Midlothian Sch. Near the eastern edge, Winfields Millpond suggests the area's earlier milling history along the waterways. The landscape transitions south toward the Nottoway River and the Greensville Co line, with the prominent height of Rocky Mountain standing near Rocky Mountain Ch.
