About this map

The town of McKenney serves as the central hub of this 1963 survey, where the Seaboard Air Line railroad and local roads converge. The landscape is a network of small creeks including Buckskin Creek, Sappony Creek, and Smith Creek, all draining toward the prominent Nottoway River. For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with family-named landmarks and rural burial sites, such as Fitzgerald Cem, Abernathy Cem, and Madison Cem.

Southern Dinwiddie County’s agricultural and industrial character is evident through features like the Gravel Pit and the presence of an Old Railroad Grade. Social life centers around traditional landmarks such as Big Bethel Ch, Sappony Ch, and the local High Sch. The southern portion of the map is defined by the tri-county meeting point of Dinwiddie, Brunswick, and Greensville counties near the river and Indian Creek.
