Rowanty Creek

Rowanty Creek is a 14-mile long creek that is a tributary to the Nottoway River in southeastern Virginia. It is formed at the confluence of Hatcher Run and Gravelly Run.

Course
Rowanty Creek flows southeast from its confluence source in a braided swamp. Along the way, it encounters a few constrictions that narrow the floodplain. A number of swamps are connected together near its mouth with the Nottoway River.

Geology
Rowanty Creek flows its entire distance through Coastal Plain alluvium. However, the two runs that form the creek start in Petersburg Granite that is part of the Piedmont.
