"Sunken land and dismal swamps" - what's in that area now?

It's actually got a huge area of land called The Great Dismal Swamp. Lots of park land and wilderness in rural Virginia. Someone from the area may be able to weigh in on it. I passed through years ago and the name struck me as hilarious.

Looks like the name stuck!
