1964 Map of Hebron

About this map

Harris Store and the rail-aligned community of Hebron anchor this rural landscape where the borders of Amelia, Nottoway, and Dinwiddie counties converge. The industrial and agricultural rhythm of the mid-20th century is evidenced by the Norfolk and Western rail line running through Wilsons and the presence of a quarry near Namozine Creek. For genealogists, the map is an exceptional resource, meticulously locating small family and community burial grounds such as Gills Cem, Craddock Cem, and Hamner Cem that often vanish from modern records. The distribution of Salem Ch, Liberty Ch, and the King David Lodge Hall suggests a deeply rooted social structure centered around small crossroads and church-led settlements. Waterways like Sweathouse Creek and Winticomack Creek define the drainage of this Piedmont terrain, while Hobbs Millpond reflects earlier water-powered industry at Hobbs Mill.
