About this map

Stony Point Mills stands as a central historical marker along the upper Appomattox River in this part of Cumberland County. The landscape is defined by its intricate network of tributaries, including Tear Wallet Creek, Big Guinea Creek, and Little Guinea Creek, which converge as they flow toward the river. These watercourses historically supported local industry, evidenced by the presence of Garrett Dam and the Chesapeake Corporation Dam.

The settlement pattern follows long-established roads like Stony Point Rd and Rodophil Rd, connecting smaller communities such as Angola and Sunny Side to the county seat at Cumberland. Genealogists and local historians can locate family landmarks like the Grove Cemetery and the Doctor W B Blanton Pond, while the naming of thoroughfares such as Stony Point Mill Ln and Fowlkes Bridge Rd preserves the memory of early river crossings and milling operations that once anchored the rural economy.
