1977 Map of Lake Drummond NW

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Great Dismal Swamp dominates this landscape, showing a complex network of artificial waterways that defined the region's historical drainage and industrial efforts. Based on 1973 aerial photography and 1940 planetable surveys, the orthophotomap reveals the dense forest cover and precise lines of the Washington Ditch and Western Ditch. These straight-line channels, including Williamson Ditch and Hudnell Ditch, reflect centuries of attempts to manage the water levels of this expansive wetland.
