About this map

Belhaven and Pantego anchor this coastal survey, where the intricate hydrology of the Pungo River and Pantego Swamp meets the rail-driven commerce of the early twentieth century. The Norfolk Southern railroad cuts through the western landscape, supporting timber and agricultural outposts like Wenona, Sixteenmile Siding, and Pike Road. Further inland, the map captures a highly managed water system featuring the Pungo Lake Canal, Intercepting Canal, and North DITCH, reflecting significant early drainage efforts within the East Dismal Swamp.
