2022 Map of Littleton

About this map

Homeville and Littleton serve as the primary crossroads in this rural Sussex County landscape, where the meandering Nottoway River creates a broad, marshy basin dominated by Hunting Quarter Swamp. The area's settlement pattern is closely tied to its hydrology, with small communities and family cemeteries like Oakland Cem and Easter Cem situated on higher ground between the river and the extensive Assamoosick Swamp to the east. Historical transit is evidenced by the prominent Jerusalem Plank Rd, a corridor that bypasses the wetter lowlands of Mussel Swamp. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the small settlement of Lumberton near Honey Pond, reflecting the timber-driven economy that has long defined this region of the Virginia coastal plain.
