The Dismal Swamp dominates this mid-century survey, defining the borderlands between Virginia and North Carolina. The landscape is a complex network of hydrological engineering and rural life, anchored by the Intracoastal Waterway (Dismal Swamp Canal) and the Hamburg Ditch. These waterways historically managed the wetlands to allow for the timber and agricultural activity seen in the scattered clearings.
