About this map

The Nottoway River defines the landscape of this region on the border of Sussex and Southampton counties, meandering through a complex network of wetlands including Hunting Quarter Swamp and Buckhorn Swamp. The settlement of Sebrell serves as a primary point of interest in the southeast, situated near the intersection of several historic thoroughfares such as Plank Rd and River Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of family-named landmarks and resting places, such as the Sebrell- Reese Cem, Butts Cem, and Hickory Hill Cem. The road network, including names like Barn Tavern Rd and Rivers Mill Rd, hints at the early commercial and transit history of the Virginia Coastal Plain. The map meticulously traces numerous smaller tributaries like Parker Run and Raccoon Creek, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns that have historically shaped land use in this part of the Tidewater region.
