1951 Map of Bunyan

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The J & W Dismal Swamp dominates the northern reaches of this coastal plain landscape, giving way to a patchwork of agricultural land and scattered rural communities in central Beaufort County. Settlement patterns follow the higher ground between the swamp and Broad Creek, with small hamlets like Bunyan and Alligoods serving as local hubs. The Norfolk Southern railway cuts through the center of the region, providing a critical link for the transport of timber and crops, while the presence of numerous rural congregations, such as Rosemary Ch and Zion Ch, underscores the community-centric nature of the area in the mid-20th century.
