About this map

The Great Dismal Swamp dominates the northern reaches of this landscape, where a sophisticated network of historical water management features like County Line Ditch and Bull Boulevard Ditch define the marshy terrain. These man-made channels intersect the dense wetlands, illustrating a long history of drainage efforts in the region. The map captures the boundary lines where Camden, Pasquotank, Gates, and Perquimans counties converge amidst the wetlands and timbered tracts.

Concentrated settlements appear at Lynchs Corner and Horseshoe, connected by a grid of rural roads such as School House Rd and Firetower Rd. In the southeastern corner, the Griffin Family Cem serves as a point of interest for genealogists, situated near the headwaters of the Newland Drainage Canal. The transition from the wild reaches of the swamp to the reclaimed agricultural and residential lands near the Pasquotank River provides a clear view of how this coastal plain environment has been shaped by habitation.
