2016 Map of Deatonville

About this map

Deatonville and the surrounding Amelia County countryside are defined by a network of rural routes and historic family burial grounds. The landscape is bisected by the Appomattox River and defined by numerous tributaries such as Saylers Cr and Sandy Cr. The settlement patterns here reflect a long agricultural history, with small communities like Rodophil and Gills serving as local hubs. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous recorded cemeteries, including Sandy Creek Cem, Bethel Cem, and Star Hope Cem. The road network, featuring names like Morrissetts Mill Rd and Gully Tavern Rd, suggests the location of former local industries and gathering places that shaped this portion of Central Virginia. This 2016 survey documents the enduring rural character of the region where Amelia, Prince Edward, and Nottoway counties meet.
