1954 Map of Deep Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Dismal Swamp Canal and the Dismal Swamp Highway anchor the western edge of this landscape, marking the historic boundary of the Dismal Swamp. This survey, updated in the early 1970s from 1950s data, illustrates the transition from rural maritime and agricultural life to suburban development near the Southern Branch Elizabeth River Waterway. Settlements like Deep Creek and Grassfield are shown in detail, alongside smaller landings such as West Landing and Douglas Landing that once served as vital points of contact along the canal and river systems.
