2013 Map of Waverly

About this map

The town of Waverly serves as the central hub of this Sussex County landscape, where the street grid is defined by the junction of General Mahone Hwy and Sussex Dr. The geography is characterized by an extensive network of wetlands and slow-moving water, with the Blackwater River winding through the center of the quadrangle. Surrounding the river are numerous designated wetlands, including Otterdam Swamp to the north and Coppahaunk Swamp to the south, illustrating the drainage patterns that have historically shaped local land use. Smaller agricultural and residential outposts like Gwaltney Corner and Carsley are connected by a web of rural routes such as Hickory Hill Rd and George Town Rd. Notable hydrologic features like Avery Millpond and Coppahaunk Spring suggest the importance of surface water to the region's historical development and local industry.
