2016 Map of Yale

About this map

Hornet Swamp and the dense network of tributaries like Poplar Swamp define the low-lying landscape along the border of Sussex and Southampton Counties. This 2016 survey captures the rural character of southeastern Virginia, where historic crossroads settlements like Yale, Hilda, and Gray persist as quiet residential nodes connected by a web of local roads. The map's detail is particularly valuable for genealogical research, identifying local burial sites such as Calvary Cem and Antioch Cem that might otherwise be overlooked in larger-scale studies.
