About this map

The Nottoway River meanders through the heart of the coastal plain in this 1918 survey, defining the landscape of Sussex and Southampton counties. This era reveals a rural society structured around small farming communities, country churches, and a dense network of swampy lowlands like Chinquapin Swamp and Assamoosick Swamp. The transportation of the day is marked by the historical Plank Road and strategic river crossings such as Peters Bridge. Rail infrastructure is prominent, with the Southern, Virginian, and Norfolk and Western lines cutting through the territory, supporting timber and agricultural transport. For genealogists, the map is remarkably detailed, locating numerous local institutions like Hickory Hill School, Oak Grove Church, and Applewhite Church. Several millponds, including Harris Millpond and Airfield Millpond, indicate the early industry of the region before the widespread modernization of water systems.
