2016 Map of Sutherland

About this map

Petersburg National Battlefield dominates the southwestern corner of this Virginia landscape, marking a site of immense significance from the American Civil War. The terrain is characterized by numerous small drainages and family cemeteries that speak to generations of rural settlement in Dinwiddie County. To the north, the Appomattox River is widened by the Lake Chesdin reservoir, which forms the boundary with Chesterfield County. This 2016 survey shows the established community of Sutherland along the Cox Rd corridor, a historic thoroughfare that once served as a vital Confederate supply line. The map reveals a dense network of country roads and family-named landmarks, such as Andrews Cem, Wyatt Cem, and Dabney Cem, providing a detailed record for those researching local lineage or the geographic evolution of the region's agricultural and military past.
