About this map

Chowan River and the sprawling Dismal Swamp define the eastern and western boundaries of this landscape at the onset of the twentieth century. The interior is a complex network of wetlands and agricultural settlements, where life centered on the local millponds and river landings. Features like Merchants Millpond and Hunters Millpond provided essential industry, while steam navigation facilitated trade along the river at Mt Pleasant Whf and Taylor Whf.
