2022 Map of Bowers Hill

About this map

Great Dismal Swamp reaches into the southern portion of this landscape, where the N-Ditch borders a transition from protected wetlands to the developed corridors of Suffolk and Chesapeake. The map illustrates a complex network of waterways, including Bennett Creek and Knotts Creek, which define the residential peninsulas of Knotts Neck and Quaker Neck. Infrastructure and industry are prominent, with the Suffolk Seaboard Coastline Trl tracing former rail routes and the Hampton Roads Executive Airport serving as a regional aviation hub. Local heritage is preserved in several burial grounds, such as the Triangle Cem and Churchland Baptist Cem, which sit alongside established communities like Pughsville and Boone. The convergence of Hodges Ferry and Jolliff highlights the area's historical reliance on both water crossings and inland road networks for local commerce and connectivity.
