Lake Drummond and the surrounding expanse of the Great Dismal Swamp dominate this landscape on the border of Virginia and North Carolina. The map captures a complex system of historical drainage and navigation, including the Dismal Swamp Canal and its associated Intracoastal Waterway. This area is defined by a dense grid of named channels such as Feeder Ditch, S Martha Washington Ditch, and Kim Saunders Ditch, reflecting over a century of efforts to manage the wetlands for timber and transport.
