About this map

Waverly serves as the primary hub of this landscape, situated at the intersection of several regional routes and the Norfolk and Western railway. The town's layout includes a prominent Water Tank and a Sewage Disposal facility, reflecting the infrastructure of the late 1960s. To the north and east, the terrain transitions into a dense network of wetlands, characterized by the winding Blackwater River and the sprawling reaches of Otterdam Swamp and Johnchecohunk Swamp.

Rural life in Sussex County is anchored by local landmarks such as Jerusalem Ch and Zion Hill Ch, alongside smaller crossroads like Gwaltney Corner and Carsley. Evidence of older transportation and industry is visible in the Old Railroad Grade and a Gravel Pit south of the main rail line. The map also records mid-century residential and utility additions, including a Trailer Park and several pipelines cutting across the wooded basins.
