2016 Map of Deep Creek

About this map

Deep Creek serves as a historic nexus where the Southern Branch Elizabeth River meets the Dismal Swamp Canal, a landscape defined by the intersection of early colonial water routes and modern expansion. This survey captures a region transitioning from the wetlands of the Great Dismal Swamp and Green Sea to developed communities like Grassfield and Bells Mill. Notable landmarks include the Chesapeake Regional Airport and the Tidewater Community Coll Chesapeake Campus, marking the northward reach of local infrastructure. To the south, rural settlements such as Cornland, Benefit, and West Landing persist near the edge of the marshes, while the Intracoastal Waterway remains a critical artery for maritime transit. The presence of Berea Memorial Cem and Good Hope Cem provides specific points of interest for those researching the genealogical history of the area.
