2011 Map of Haynesville

About this map

Totuskey Creek and its many tributaries, such as Drinking Swamp and Marshy Swamp, define the geography of this Richmond County region. The landscape is characterized by its numerous millponds and landings, including Gardys Millpond and Yellowbank Landing, which speak to a historical reliance on local waterways for industry and transport. Small rural communities like Haynesville, Emmerton, and Farnham are interconnected by a network of local routes such as Mulberry Rd and Lone Walnut Rd. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named sites and several burial grounds, including Lyells Chapel Cemetery and Calvary Cemetery. Notably, the area includes the State Prison Camp Number 17, situated near the confluence of local streams and agricultural tracts that have shaped the settlement patterns of this Virginia neck.
