2013 Map of Lake Drummond

About this map

Lake Drummond sits as the central feature of this landscape, its rounded expanse surrounded by a geometric grid of historic drainage channels. These waterways, including Riddick Ditch and Corapeake Ditch, reflect over a century of efforts to manage and navigate the local wetlands. The Dismal Swamp Canal runs along the eastern edge, serving as a primary artery for transport and water management alongside George Washington Hwy S. Small settlements and landings such as Wallaceton, Arbuckle Landing, and the remote Jacks Camp indicate the sparse human footprint in this aqueous environment. The presence of Angle Siding near the canal suggests the historic intersection of rail and water-based commerce, while named ditches like Kim Saunders Ditch and Paw-paw Ditch provide specific reference points for genealogists and local historians tracking land use and family holdings in the region.
