1977 Map of Suffolk

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Nansemond River and the edges of the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge anchor this landscape, illustrating the contrast between urban expansion and protected wetlands. The city of Suffolk appears as a dense hub of transit, where multiple rail lines including the Norfolk and Western RR and the Seaboard Coast Line RR converge. Beyond the city center, smaller communities like Skeetertown, Nurney, and Saunders are scattered among the agricultural clearings and swampy lowlands. To the east, the geometric lines of Jericho Ditch and Washington Ditch cut through the deep greens of the swamp, marking historic efforts to manage the water levels of this massive ecosystem. Notable local institutions like John F Kennedy High Sch and Nansemond High Sch serve the growing residential areas around Oak Grove and Pleasant Hill.
