About this map

The coastal plain of southeastern Virginia is defined here by a dense network of blackwater wetlands and millponds, where Sussex Co and Southampton Co meet. Small settlements like Manry, Piney Grove, and Barrett Corner anchor the rural landscape, connected by roads such as Barretts Church RD and Cedar Sign Post RD. The topography is subtly marked by wide, slow-moving drainages including Big Woods Swamp, Seacorrie Swamp, and Assamoosick Swamp, which dominate the western half of the map.

Evidence of early rural industry remains visible in the naming of Laniers Millpond and Brittles Millpond, suggesting historical milling sites that once served local farmers. Genealogists will find interest in localized landmarks such as Union Hill Cem and Elam Cem. In the northeast corner, the Wakefield Municipal Airport represents a modern contrast to the surrounding timberlands and agricultural fields, while the vast Airfield Pond provides a significant water feature in the central southern region.
