2022 Map of Buckhorn

About this map

The coastal plain of Virginia, just west of the Suffolk city center, is defined by a dense network of blackwater creeks and wooded wetlands. This 2022 survey captures the transitional landscape where suburban residential developments like Kenyon and Manning meet the sprawling tracts of Quaker Swamp and Cypress Swamp. The map highlights the localized settlement patterns of the Tidewater region, with small communities such as Lummis and Nurneysville situated along key transit corridors like Holland Rd and Whaleyville Blvd. Institutional and infrastructure landmarks are prominent, including the Paul D Camp Community College - Hobbs Suffolk Campus and the uniquely named Grasso Salvage Airport. This modern record is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it documents numerous family-named burial grounds like Rawles Cem, Rabey Cem, and Barrett Cem within their geographic context.
