Smithfield sits at the confluence of the Pagan River and several tidal creeks, serving as a focal point for this Virginia coastal plain landscape. The geography is defined by an extensive network of low-lying wetlands, including Comet Swamp, Rattlesnake Swamp, and the large Great Swamp to the south. These watercourses were historically critical for industry and transit, evidenced by the Courthouse Millpond and the presence of the Old Railroad Grade cutting across the southwestern quadrant.
