2019 Map of Supply

About this map

Upper Zion and Hickory Fork anchor the western portion of this rural landscape where the headwaters of Beverly Run and Smoots Run drain toward the Rappahannock basin. The terrain is defined by a dense network of intermittent streams and marshlands, including Mason Swamp and Black Water Swamp, which have historically dictated the placement of settlements and roads. Small crossroads and family-named locales like Goldmans Corner, Jones Corner, and Naulakla are connected by narrow routes such as Beverly Town Rd and Hustle Rd. Scattered family cemeteries, including Kay Cem and Rollins Cem, provide localized genealogical markers across the transition from Caroline to Essex County. The map reveals a deeply wooded interior where forestry and small-scale agriculture remain the primary land uses, evidenced by the numerous named forks and clearings.
