About this map

Bayboro serves as the focal point of this coastal plain landscape, where the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks parallel the Bay River. The 1974 photorevisions reveal a highly structured drainage system of agricultural canals, including the Main Canal and Sandhill Canal, which cut through the lowlands to manage the local water table. These engineering efforts reflect the intensive land use surrounding the town centers of Alliance and Grantsboro.

Genealogists will find several landmarks preserved, such as St Marks Ch and the Green Hill Ch Cem near the fork where the North Prong and South Prong meet. Farther north, the transition into the Gum Swamp is marked by early settlements like Silver Hill and Prescott. The map also records the institutional presence of the era with the High Sch and Central Sch, alongside infrastructure like the Substation at Alliance.
