About this map

The Meherrin River and its labyrinthine tributaries define the wet, lowland landscape at the convergence of Southampton, Greensville, and Sussex counties. This modern topographic survey illustrates a rural Virginia economy centered on widely spaced settlements like Grizzard and Green Plain, interconnected by a network of local roads such as Brickyard Rd and Ivey Tract Rd. The persistence of these small communities alongside extensive wetlands like Bellyache Swamp and Otterdam Swamp highlights the historical reliance on higher ground for habitation in this part of the Tidewater region.
