1966 Map of Boykins

About this map

Boykins serves as a central hub on this mid-1960s survey, where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad intersects with local roads leading toward the border of Virginia and North Carolina. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Meherrin River, which carves through the lowlands of Southampton and Northampton Counties. Extensive swamp networks, including the broad Buckhorn Swamp and Flat Swamp, dominate the western half of the quadrangle, illustrating the challenging drainage patterns of the coastal plain.
