1954 Map of Lake Drummond NW

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Dismal Swamp dominates this 1950s landscape, providing a specialized look at the engineered drainage systems and transit corridors crossing the wetlands on the border of Nansemond Co and Norfolk Co. The map reveals a network of man-made waterways essential to the region's historical timber and transport economy, including the Washington Ditch, Big Entry Ditch, and Fivemile Ditch. These straight-line cuts contrast with the natural density of the swamp, illustrating early efforts to manage this environment.
