About this map

The Nottoway River and its intricate network of tributaries define the landscape of this Sussex County region. The town of Stony Creek serves as a primary hub where roads like Halifax Rd and Red Bank Rd converge. Further south, the map reveals smaller settlements such as Huske and the curiously named Fort Nottoway. For those tracing local families, several burial grounds are documented, including the Pegram Cem near the northwestern corner and the Jones - Timms Family Cem situated along Sussex Dr.

The terrain is marked by significant wetlands, including Peaquarter Swamp, Southwest Swamp, and Hunting Quarter Swamp, illustrating the drainage patterns that have historically shaped land use here. Landmark industrial and geographic sites like Winfields Mill and Lewis Pond offer insights into the area's rural economy. The boundary where Dinwiddie and Sussex counties meet is clearly delineated, crossing through the timbered tracts and farmstead access roads that characterize the interior.
