1972 Map of Aulander

About this map

The town of Aulander and the surrounding agricultural lands of the Hertford Co Bertie Co line define this 1970s landscape. The settlement pattern is anchored by small crossroads and linear hamlets like Millennium, Connáritsa, and Hexlena, many of which developed along the Seaboard Coast Line railroad. The topography is characterized by expansive wetland systems including Pocosin and the winding Connáritsa Swamp, which drain into several named basins such as Beaverdam Swamp and Eason Swamp. This map provides significant genealogical value through its dense documentation of rural community hubs, specifically noting numerous Cem sites and local landmarks like South Aulander Sch and Francis Mill. The distribution of religious centers, from Millennium Ch in the north to Conconary Ch and Center Grove Ch in the east, illustrates the social fabric of these North Carolina farming communities during the late twentieth century.
