2013 Map of Sussex

About this map

Nottoway River and its intricate network of wetland drainages define the landscape of south-central Virginia in this 2013 survey. The terrain is characterized by extensive lowlands such as Beaver Pond Swamp, Gosee Swamp, and the massive Hunting Quarter Swamp, illustrating the hydrologic complexity of the region. Local industry and historic water management are evident at Howells Mill and Hargraves Millpond, while the community of Sussex serves as a central point for the surrounding rural road network. Significant transportation history is preserved through labels like Railroad Bed Rd, indicating a former corridor now repurposed. Smaller settlements like West Hope, Booker, and Lambs are situated along primary routes such as Courthouse Rd and Princeton Rd, providing a detailed look at the modern distribution of these long-standing coastal plain communities.
