1968 Map of Bayboro

About this map

The Bay River watershed and the low-lying terrain of the Gum Swamp dominate this coastal plain landscape. Along the north and south prongs of the river, the historic rail and road corridor connects the riverside settlements of Bayboro, Alliance, and Grantsboro. The drainage of this wet region is clearly visible through a system of engineered waterways including the Main Canal, Flowers Canal, and Sawyer Canal, which cut through the agricultural lands north of the primary towns. Genealogists will find several rural landmarks including the Rock of Zion Ch, St Marks Ch, and Green Hill Ch. The map also captures the inland hamlet of Silver Hill and the small coastal community of Stonewall, providing a clear record of Pamlico County's development during the mid-to-late 20th century.
