1969 Map of Waverly

About this map

The Norfolk and Western railroad serves as the primary corridor for Waverly, anchoring a landscape defined by extensive wetlands and rural outposts. To the east, the Blackwater River snakes across the terrain, joined by the slow-moving waters of Otterdam Swamp and Coppahaunk Swamp. These water systems dictate the placement of early settlements like Gwaltney Corner and Carsley, which sit on the higher ground between the river basins.
