2013 Map of Alberta

About this map

The Meherrin River defines the southern reach of this Brunswick County landscape, where traditional rural settlements like Alberta and Cochran are interspersed with historical crossings and crossroads. The map documents a transition from the older river-and-road network to modern transit, evidenced by the alignment of the Old Indian Rd and the Shining Creek Rd intersecting with newer thoroughfares. Named localities such as Meredithville, Grandy, and Charlie Hope represent small communities anchored by regional watercourses including Totaro Cr and Great Cr. The presence of Price Mill suggests a legacy of local industry along the interior creeks, while the grid layout of Alberta in the northeast corner shows more concentrated development compared to the surrounding agricultural and timber lands. This survey provides a clear view of the area's geography before further suburban expansion, preserving the names of local landmarks like Gees Bridge and Becky Br.
