2013 Map of Lake Drummond NW

About this map

Washington Ditch and the long, linear reaches of Hudnell Ditch define this low-lying landscape within the Great Dismal Swamp region during the early twenty-first century. The map provides a unique look at the complex hydrological management of the area, where historical drainage efforts are represented by a network of engineered waterways such as Portsmouth Ditch, Middle Ditch, and Camp Ditch. While much of the terrain is characterized by these wetlands and drainage cuts, specific points of access and activity are noted at Douglas Landing and along Jericho Ditch Ln. This 2013 survey serves as a modern record of the swamp's interior geography, showing the intersection of local water management and early trails like Kentucky Trl before the natural environment continues its slow reclamation of these man-made features.
