1951 Map of Atlantic

About this map

Cedar Island dominates this mid-century coastal survey, connected to the mainland via the narrow passage of Cedar Island Road crossing Thorofare. The map documents a maritime landscape defined by isolated settlements such as Roe, Lola, and Atlantic, where life centered on the protected waters of Core Sound and West Bay. Evidence of local genealogy and community is found in the Freewill Church, Roe School, and family burial sites like Gigo Cem and Lupton Cem.
