1920 Map of Homeville

About this map

Nottoway River meanders through the heart of Sussex and Southampton counties, serving as the primary geographical spine for a region defined by extensive wetlands and scattered agricultural settlements. During this post-World War I era, the landscape is heavily marked by its water-driven economy and transit networks, featuring numerous millponds like Harris Millpond and Airfield Millpond that supported local industry. The settlement of Sebrell serves as a key rail junction for the Virginian railroad, while smaller crossroads like Homeville and Lumberton anchor the surrounding rural tracts. The intricate network of swampy lowlands, including Assamoosick Swamp and Seacock Swamp, dictated the placement of historic crossings such as Peters Bridge and Carey Bridge. Numerous rural institutions, from Plank Road Church to the Cabin Point School, provide a detailed look at the social geography of the Virginia tidewater region before modern highway expansion altered these traditional community centers.
