About this map

The Norfolk and Western railway cuts across this Southampton County landscape, connecting the small community of Sebrell in the west to Beales and Vicksville further east. This 1960s survey, updated in the mid-1980s, reveals a terrain defined by extensive wetlands and drainage systems, including the wide Assamoosick Swamp and the headwaters of the Nottoway R.

Social and civic life is anchored by rural landmarks such as St Lukes Ch, Zion Ch, and St Pauls Ch, while the presence of a Lookout Tower near Vicksville suggests the importance of timber management in this heavily wooded region. Waterways like Round Hill Swamp and Deep Branch frame the scattered farmsteads and cemeteries that populate the ridges between the low-lying runs. The map provides a detailed view of the infrastructure of this Southside Virginia region before further modernization altered its agricultural character.
