About this map

Dragon Swamp and Glebe Swamp define the low-lying drainage patterns of this coastal Virginia landscape, where small crossroads communities anchor the higher ground between tidal tributaries. In the early 21st century, the area remains dominated by a network of rural routes, including the Lewis B Puller Memorial HWY which serves as a central east-west corridor through Shacklefords Fork and Beulahland.

Southward, the terrain meets the Poropotank River and Hockley Cr, areas characterized by winding creek beds and the small settlements of Hockley and Cologne. For researchers, the map provides precise locations for named points like Owl Trap and Snow Hill, showing the persistent footprint of these historically distinct locales. The infrastructure reflects a blend of colonial-era naming and modern memorial highways like the George Washington Memorial HWY in the southeastern corner.
