About this map

The Great Dismal Swamp dominates this landscape, showing the complex hydrology of one of the mid-Atlantic's most significant wetlands. This territory, split by the boundary between the City of Suffolk and City of Chesapeake, is defined by an extensive network of historic canals and drainage routes. Features like Washington Ditch, Jericho Ditch, and Williamson Ditch illustrate the long-term engineering efforts to manage water within the swamp, while the Intracoastal Waterway cuts through the southeastern corner. These waterways, alongside terrestrial markers such as Hardwood Leg and Hardwood Ditch, reveal the intersection of natural conservation and human-altered environments. The presence of Jericho Ditch Ln and Kentucky Trl provides specific points of access for those researching the modern infrastructure of this protected wilderness area.
