About this map

Stony Creek serves as a central hub on this 2016 survey, situated where the interstate corridor meets local routes like Main St and Cedar Rd. This Sussex County landscape is defined by its extensive wetlands and drainage systems, where the Nottoway River and its tributaries carve through the terrain. Notable hydrologic features include the broad Southwest Swamp, Peaquarter Swamp, and Bolling Swamp, which reflect the low-lying, water-dense geography of the region.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks and family-named sites such as Winfields Mill, Huske, and Fort Nottoway. Burial grounds are documented with the inclusion of Peagram Cem and Sappony Cem, providing touchpoints for tracing family roots. The map also captures several smaller water bodies and named branches, including Morgans Pond, Spiers Pond, and Sappony Creek, which have influenced the settlement patterns and road networks like Troublefield Rd and Walkers Mill Rd over generations.
