About this map

Low-lying wetlands and scattered settlements define this section of the Virginia Coastal Plain south of Suffolk. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling headwaters of Jones Swamp and Council Swamp, where the slow-moving drainage patterns have shaped local land use for generations. Small communities like Lummis and Box Elder are situated along the secondary road network, while the northeastern corner shows a denser residential progression with neighborhoods such as Barrett Acres, Pinaire, and Bethlehem Terrace bordering the city's outskirts. Water management and recreational assets are prominent, including the Speights Run Reservoir and the residential area of Lake Speight Colony. For researchers interested in regional aviation or infrastructure, the Grasso Salvage Airport represents a specific landmark of interest, alongside several named crossings such as Bakers Crossing.
