2016 Map of Runnymede

About this map

Mill Swamp and Passenger Swamp dominate this rural landscape on the border of Surry and Isle of Wight counties. The settlement pattern is defined by historic crossroads such as California Crossroads, Delk Crossroads, and the hamlet of Runnymede. Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including Moores Swamp Cem, Cypress Cem, and Mount Moriah Cem, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogical research. The map captures the agricultural and timber character of the Tidewater region, featuring numerous pocosin wetlands like Cypress Pocosin, Willy Cox Pocosin, and Shrub Pocosin. The area’s light aviation history is visible at Beaver Dam Airpark and Wells Airport, while the legacy of early industry remains at Derrings Mill. Navigational features like Hundreds Bridge and the winding Blackwater River further define the connectivity of this woodland territory.
