1968 Map of Disputanta South

About this map

Norfolk and Western rail lines cut a sharp diagonal through the heavily forested wetlands of Sussex and Prince George counties in the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of drainage, where the Blackwater River and its numerous tributaries, including Warwick Swamp and Joseph Swamp, create a complex hydrologic environment. Small rural centers like Disputanta and Newville serve as anchor points for the surrounding community, which is dotted with local landmarks such as Centerville Ch and Wilburn Ch.
