About this map

DeWitt and Butterworth serve as the primary hubs in this part of Dinwiddie County, where a network of rural roads connects established family properties and local landmarks. The landscape is defined by the drainage systems of Sappony Creek and Butterwood Creek, which feed into several managed water bodies including Wheelers Pond and Colemans Lake. These sites, along with Coleman Dam and Wheelers Dam, indicate a long history of water management for local agricultural or industrial needs.

Genealogists will find a significant number of family-named burial grounds across the quadrangle, including the Meredith Cemetery in the north and the Bott Memorial Cemetery near the rail line in the south. Smaller communities such as Gunns Hill, Baltimore Corner, and Wilkinsons Store appear as crossroads settlements, preserving the names of the families who once established commerce at these junctions. The map also records numerous smaller water features like Snap Lodge Branch and Chamberlains Bed, which have likely influenced property boundaries for generations.
