2016 Map of Saluda

About this map

Dragon Swamp and Courthouse Swamp dominate the low-lying interior of this Virginia landscape, where the Middlesex Co and Gloucester Co line divides the drainage basins of the Piankatank River and Poropotank River. The settlement of Saluda serves as a central hub, connected to outlying points like Cooks Corner and Stormont by a network of historic roads including Tidewater Trl and Raven Rd. To the north, the terrain reaches the banks of the Rappahannock River at Cooper, while the eastern portion of the sheet reveals a series of named points and small landings like Anderson Point and Sheppards Lndg. Evidence of long-standing community centers is found at Christchurch, which maintains its identity through the Christ Church Cem, and the Rappahannock Community Coll - Glenns Campus near the junction at Glenns. Further south, the map traces the intricate water systems of Callahan Swamp and Pratts Mill Swamp near the small crossroads of Harcum and Hornets Nest.
