The Great Dismal Swamp dominates the eastern landscape of this 2016 survey, a sprawling wetland complex defined by a geometric network of drainage channels such as Corapeake Ditch and the Railroad Ditch. The border between North Carolina and Virginia bisects the sheet, separating the farming communities of Gates County from the northern reaches of the swamp. Settlement is concentrated along the north-south corridor of Route 32, where the village of Corapeake serves as a central hub.
