About this map

The town of Aulander and the surrounding agricultural lands of Bertie and Hertford Counties define this coastal plain landscape. Characterized by expansive wetlands and pocosin formations, the area shows a distinct pattern of settlement where small communities like Millennium, Connarita, and Hexlena are situated on the higher ground between drainage systems. These wetlands, including Hearts Delight Pocosin and Beaverdam Pocosin, historically dictated the placement of roads and homesteads, creating the network of rural lanes seen today.

Genealogists can trace local landmarks and family connections through features like Eastview Cem and the settlement at Francis Mill. The complex hydrology of the region is evident in the sprawling networks of Beaverdam Swamp, Connarita Swamp, and Eason Swamp, which weave between the scattered hamlets. This modern survey provides a detailed record of the contemporary road network, from Republican Rd to the various farm-to-market routes that connect these long-standing North Carolina communities.
