Namozine Creek is a 23.6-mile-long (38.0 km)[4] stream in the U.S. state of Virginia. Rising in Nottoway County 6 miles (10 km) northeast of the town of Blackstone, Namozine Creek forms the boundary between Dinwiddie County to its southeast and Nottoway and Amelia counties to its west and northwest for nearly its entire length. The stream flows generally east-northeast, and joins the Appomattox River as a right-bank tributary at Lake Chesdin 13 miles (21 km) west of Petersburg. The Namozine Creek basin consists mostly of forest and farmland; US 460 through Dinwiddie closely follows the southern rim of the watershed for several miles, between Blackstone and Church Road.[2]
