1914 Map of Belhaven
USGS Topo · Published 1914About this map
The town of Belhaven stands at the confluence of Pungo Creek and the Pungo River, serving as a vital focal point for the timber and agricultural industries of eastern North Carolina in the early 20th century. This area is characterized by an extensive network of waterways and reclaimed lands, where the Main Canal and various other drainage projects attempt to manage the West Dismal Swamp and Pantego Swamp. The presence of the John L. Roper Lumber Co. Tram and the Norfolk Southern line through Wilkinson and Pantego highlights the era's reliance on rail to move raw materials from the interior to the coast.
