About this map

Manry and Barrett Corner anchor the southern reaches of this Sussex County landscape, situated where the terrain transitions into a complex network of wetlands and drainage basins. The area is defined by its extensive swamp systems, including the Assamoosick Swamp, Seacorrie Swamp, and German Swamp, which illustrate the low-lying, water-dominant geography of the Virginia coastal plain. These natural features dictated early settlement patterns, leaving a legacy of small rural communities and family landmarks.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial sites, such as Elam Cem and Union Hill Cem, alongside significant water-driven industry markers like Laniers Millpond and Brittles Mill Pond. The northern section is marked by the presence of Piney Grove and the Wakefield Municipal Airport, providing a clear view of how modern transportation infrastructure and traditional agricultural settings exist side-by-side in this part of Virginia.
