About this map

Speights Run and the winding reaches of Jones Swamp define the hydrology of this Coastal Plain landscape in Suffolk, Virginia. Small rural communities and residential developments are scattered throughout the region, including Lutersville, Lummis, and the clustered neighborhoods of Oak Ridge Estates and Bethlehem Terrace. The map details the transition from agricultural fields to more densely settled areas, with numerous small water bodies like Norfleet Pond and Lake Cahoon providing essential drainage and water management.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family-named landmarks and local burial sites, such as Rawles Cemetery, Rabey Cemetery, and Barrett Cemetery. The area's transportation network is anchored by historically significant intersections like Bakers Crossing and the presence of the Grasso Salvage Airport, reflecting the mixed-use character of this part of Tidewater Virginia.
