1944 Map of Reams

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Rowanty Creek and its many tributaries, including Hatcher Run and Cattail Creek, define the drainage patterns of this rural landscape during the mid-1940s. The region is marked by a network of local congregations such as Gravelly Run Church and Little Zion Church, which served as community anchors alongside Reams School and Zion School. Transportation and industry were closely linked, with the Atlantic Coast Line railroad passing through the village of Reams and the community of Carson on the eastern edge. This survey, prepared under the direction of the Corps of Engineers, shows a landscape still heavily dependent on its watercourses and timber, evidenced by the presence of a Sawmill near Rowanta. The map documents the intricate boundary between Dinwiddie and Prince George counties, following the meandering path of the swampy bottomlands.
