About this map

The Nottoway River meanders through a landscape defined by extensive wetlands and historic river crossings in this part of Southampton County. The village of Sebrell sits near the eastern edge of the map, served by a network of traditional routes including Plank Rd and Jerusalem Plank Rd. This area is characterized by its complex hydrology, where Hunting-Quarter Swamp, Buckhorn Swamp, and Hornet Swamp occupy the low-lying drainage basins between the river and its many tributaries like Three Cr and Raccoon Creek.

Several historic crossing points are identified, including Peters Bridge, Westbrook Bridge, and Careys Bridge, reflecting the importance of river navigation and transit in this rural region. Genealogists can locate several family-named burial sites, such as Hickory Hill Cem, Butts Cem, and the Sebrell-Reese Cem, which provide a window into the settlement history of the Sussex and Southampton county line.
