DINWIDDIE CO., VIRGINIA FOLK ART PLANTATION MAP, pen and watercolor on paper, depicting a "Map of Dr. R. H. Crawley's Plantations" comprising 656 1/4 acres bordered by the Nottoway River, Reedy Creek, and Great Creek, depicting the land split into three main parcels with various smaller divisions including the orchard and various open lots surrounding a manor house with smaller structures, possibly for the previously enslaved workers, along the main plantation road; the upper left quadrant bears script defining the meets and bounds of the property and identifies the surveyor as Thomas F. Rives (Dinwiddie Co., VA, 1839-1900). Housed under glass in a contemporary frame. Dated Nov. 15, 1871. 28 1/2" x 24 3/4" sight, 30 1/2" x 26 3/4" OA.

Thomas F. Rives (Dinwiddie Co., VA, 1839-1900) is listed in the 1880 census as a civil engineer, while other census records list him as "attending to farm".
