2022 Map of Sussex

About this map

The Sussex County Courthouse serves as the focal point of this rural Virginia landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of wetlands and river systems. The Nottoway River meanders across the upper half of the sheet, surrounded by extensive swamp terrain including Beaver Pond Swamp and Goose Swamp. Small agricultural and residential clusters such as West Hope, Booker, and Lambs are connected by a web of historic routes like Jerusalem Plank Rd and Old Forty Rd. For genealogists and local historians, the map provides precise locations for several community burial sites, including Bethel Cem and Reidville Cem. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the vast Hunting Quarter Swamp, where the legacy of local industry is reflected in names like Howells Mill and Hargraves Millpond, showing how early settlers utilized the slow-moving water for milling.
