1956 Map of Littleton

About this map

The winding Nottoway River defines the rural landscape of Sussex County, carving a deep, meandering path through a mix of wooded bottomlands and upland clearings. Small agrarian centers like Homeville and Littleton anchor the community, connected by a network of light-duty and unimproved roads. The distribution of civic structures like the Plank Road Sch and Homeville Sch, along with houses of worship such as Easter Ch and Oak Grove Ch, reflects a classic mid-century Virginia pattern of decentralized, rural settlement. Navigational infrastructure is notably represented by the Patrick Henry Radio Range Sta, while the presence of several Gravel Pits suggests localized extraction near the river's edge. Waterways like Nibletts Mill Run and Cope Charles Spring Br drain the surrounding fields, highlighting the area's dependence on natural drainage for its agricultural viability.
