About this map

Center Hill and the surrounding agricultural lowlands of the Inner Banks define this 2019 survey of the coastal plain. The landscape is heavily marked by an extensive network of drainage and wetlands, most notably the sprawling Bear Swamp and Pollock Swamp, which channel water toward the Perquimans River and Bethel Cr. These natural hydrologic features dictate the placement of local infrastructure and small settlements like Beach Springs and Yeopim Station.

Road names throughout the area, such as Great Hope Church Rd and Center Hill Ch Rd, hint at the locations of historical community centers and congregations. The boundary between Perquimans and Chowan Counties follows Co Line Rd, bisecting the region's farms and timber tracts. The map illustrates a contemporary rural economy where family-named routes like Brinn Farm Rd connect established homesteads to the primary artery of Center Hill Hwy.
