2019 Map of Stony Creek

About this map

The town of Stony Creek sits as a central hub in this Southern Virginia landscape, defined by a complex network of wetlands and tributaries. The terrain is characterized by expansive drainage systems such as Peaquarter Swamp, Galley Swamp, and Southwest Swamp, which feed into the larger Nottoway River at the southern boundary. These wetlands dictate the placement of local settlements and infrastructure, with Winfields Mill and Huske established on the drier ground between the forks. Local genealogy and community history are anchored by landmarks like the Pegram Cem, Sappony Cem, and the Green Church Bridge crossing. The map reveals how the modern transportation corridor bisects the older rural fabric, cutting through areas like Fort Nottoway while preserving the names of historic family roads such as Mortar Branch Rd and Jones Branch Rd.
