Great Dismal Swamp dominates the eastern half of this landscape, its interior crisscrossed by a rigid grid of drainage canals including Railroad Ditch, Interior Ditch, and Corapeake Ditch. This low-lying borderland between Virginia and North Carolina is defined by its complex hydrology, where wetlands like Dragon Swamp and Moss Swamp border higher ground such as Baines Hill. Settled areas are clustered along the western corridors, primarily following the path of Carolina Rd.
