1965 Map of Richlands
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Richlands serves as the focal point of this mid-century landscape, situated where the New River meets a network of coastal wetlands. The geography is defined by distinctive wetland basins known as pocosins, most notably the evocatively named Hell Pocosin and Purgatory Pocosin in the northeastern quadrant. These low-lying areas create a natural boundary for rural settlements such as Huffmantown, Jarmantown, and Ervintown, which are linked by a developing road system crossing Mill Swamp and Little Limestone Swamp.
