2019 Map of Buckhorn

About this map

Speights Run and several significant wetland systems define the landscape south of Suffolk in this detailed 2019 survey. The area is characterized by a patchwork of wooded swamplands, including the Daughtrey Pocosin, Quaker Swamp, and Jones Swamp. Small settlements and historic family hubs such as Lummis, Kenyon, and Nurneysville are connected by a network of rural roads that cross these low-lying drainages. In the northeast, the expansion of the Suffolk city area is evident near the Paul D Camp Community College - Hobbs Suffolk Campus. The map also documents several local burial grounds, including Rawles Cem and Barrett Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogists tracing regional family history. Infrastructure like the Grasso Salvage Airport and major thoroughfares such as Holland Rd illustrate the modern transit and industry overlaying this ancient coastal plain drainage system.
