1907 Map of Beckford

USGS Topo · Published 1940

About this map

The Chowan River and its intricate network of swamps and creek landings anchor this 1905–1906 survey of northeastern North Carolina. This landscape is defined by the transition from the dense interior of the Dismal Swamp to the timber and milling centers along Bennetts Creek. Significant inland water features like Merchants Millpond and Jones Pond appear alongside a busy steamboat route, highlighting the era's reliance on riverine transport for moving goods from landings such as Sandy Field Ldg and Taylor Whf.
