1954 Map of Lake Drummond SE

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Dismal Swamp dominates this landscape, straddling the border between Virginia and North Carolina where Chesapeake City meets the state line. This mid-century survey reveals a delicate balance between the persistent wetlands and early efforts at drainage and transport. The Northwest River snakes through the northern territory, while the Intracoastal Waterway and the Lake Drummond Causeway provide critical transit corridors through the marsh. Higher ground is represented by Smith Ridge and the isolated Culpeper Island, providing small pockets of firm terrain in an otherwise saturated environment.
