2016 Map of Buckhorn

About this map

The low-lying wetlands of Tidewater Virginia define this landscape, where Jones Swamp, Quaker Swamp, and Council Swamp interlace with the headwaters of Cohoon Creek. Settlement patterns follow the higher ground along the Holland Rd corridor, connecting the small community of Lummis to the western edge of Suffolk. The map documents a blend of rural heritage and modern institutional growth, featuring established family-named landmarks like Rawles Cem alongside the Paul D Camp Community College Hobbs Suffolk Campus. This area serves as a critical hydrologic zone for the region, managed through the Speights Run Reservoir and Norfleet Pond. The presence of the Grasso Salvage Airport and a network of named trails like Indian Trl reflect a transition between traditional agricultural land use and more specialized local infrastructure near the Kenyon area.
