About this map

Deatonville and its surrounding rural landscapes are captured here at the intersection of Amelia, Nottoway, Cumberland, and Prince Edward counties. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage, including Saylers Creek and the Appomattox River, which form the natural boundaries between several of these jurisdictions. The settlement pattern remains largely agricultural and dispersed, centered around small hubs like Gills and Rodophil.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to the density of family and community burial grounds, such as Pilgrim Cem, Southall Cem, and Ellis Cem. The road network, including historic thoroughfares like Genito RD and Jamestown RD, follows the high ridges between creek valleys. This survey reflects a landscape that has maintained its rural character for generations, with many small cemeteries and church-adjacent sites like Bethel Cem serving as the primary landmarks in an area dominated by timber and farmland.
