2011 Map of Lake Drummond NW

About this map

Washington Ditch and Jericho Ditch define the strictly geometric landscape of this region in the early twenty-first century, illustrating a centuries-old tradition of hydrological engineering. The map reveals an intricate network of drainage and transport routes, most notably the Dismal Swamp Canal along the eastern edge, which has historically served as a vital maritime artery. This interior topography is marked by a grid of artificial waterways including Hudnell Ditch, Camp Ditch, and Middle Ditch, reflecting a landscape managed for drainage and access. The orientation of features like Hardwood Leg and Portsmouth Ditch provides a clear view of how the land has been partitioned and utilized, while the lone Kentucky Trl represents the limited terrestrial infrastructure within this water-dominated environment.
