The city of Suffolk sits at the heart of this coastal Virginia landscape, where a dense network of residential neighborhoods like Saratoga Place and Rosemont meets the surrounding waterways and wetlands. The city's development is closely tied to its water management, evidenced by the Lake Mead Dam and Lake Kilby Dam which created significant reservoirs. To the south and east, the map transition into more agricultural and wooded land, defined by a complex system of drainage infrastructure including the Jericho Ditch and Washington Ditch. For local historians and genealogists, this map is a crucial resource for locating numerous burial grounds, such as Cedar Hill Cemetery near the city center and the more rural Whitehead Cemetery and Duke Cemetery found along Hosier Rd.
