About this map

DeWitt and Butterworth serve as the primary hubs of this Dinwiddie County landscape, where the local road network converges along the historic Boyton Plank Rd corridor. The area is defined by its deep community roots, evidenced by the numerous family and church burial grounds that dot the countryside, including Meredith Cem, Lewis Cem, and Bott Memorial Cem. The Eleven Oaks Baptist Church and its accompanying cemetery stand as a central landmark for local genealogists and historians.

Water plays a significant role in the topography, with a complex drainage system featuring Stony Cr, Sappony Cr, and Butterwood Cr. These streams wind through the lowlands, creating a patchwork of wetlands like Bar Swamp and managed water bodies such as Colemans Lake and Wheelers Pond. Smaller crossroads like Baltimore Corner and Gunns Hill illustrate the enduring rural settlement patterns of the Virginia interior.
