1954 Map of Lake Drummond SE

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Dismal Swamp dominates this mid-century landscape, a dense wetland interior straddling the Virginia-North Carolina border. Human presence is concentrated on the margins, particularly around Cornland and the eastern edge where an extensive U S Naval Reservation meets the marsh. The drainage and transport patterns of the era are defined by a network of engineered waterways, including the Dismal Swamp Canal and Lake Drummond Canal, which run alongside the primary north-south Highway. Local life is anchored by small community landmarks such as Gertie Sch and Bethel Ch. Traces of earlier industry are evident in the Old Railroad Grade cutting across the north, while topographic elevations like Smith Ridge and Culpeper Island offer the only relief in the otherwise flat, aqueous terrain of Norfolk and Currituck counties.
