About this map

The Nottoway River meanders through the heart of this Sussex County landscape, shaping a terrain defined by extensive wetlands and scattered rural settlements. Small communities like Homeville, Littleton, and Lumberton serve as anchor points along a network of historic transit routes, including Old Forty Rd and Robinson Rd. The geography is notably water-heavy, featuring the broad Assamoosick Swamp to the east and Hunting Quarter Swamp to the southwest, which transitions into Honey Pond at the Honey Dam.

For those researching family history in the region, the map identifies specific burial sites such as Oakland Cemetery and Easter Cemetery near Homeville. The presence of several named branches and runs, such as Nebletts Mill Run and Cape Charles Spring Branch, suggests a legacy of local milling and early agrarian development along these tributaries. This survey captures the rural character of the Virginia coastal plain before further modern encroachment, preserving the spatial relationship between old homesteads and the river bottomlands.
