2019 Map of Manry

About this map

Seacorrie Swamp and Big Woods Swamp dominate this rural landscape on the border of Sussex and Southampton counties. The 2019 survey documents a region defined by extensive wetlands and drainage systems, where small settlements like Manry and Barrett Corner are connected by a network of named country roads. Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by sites such as Union Hill Cem and Elam Cem, while the industrial and agricultural past is reflected in the naming of Laniers Millpond and Mill Run Pond. The presence of the Wakefield Municipal Airport in the northeast corner marks a modern aviation footprint amidst the older topography of Harrells Pond and Jenkins Pond. The map serves as a contemporary record of how the lowland watercourses like Assamoosick Swamp continue to shape the development and layout of these Virginia coastal plain communities.
