About this map

Bear Swamp dominates the southern landscape of this coastal plain region, where the Chowan Co Perquimans Co boundary line bisects dense wetlands and agricultural clearings. The 1982 survey reveals a community anchored by a high density of rural houses of worship, including Hunters Fork Ch, Great Hope Ch, and Saunders Grove Ch. These cultural landmarks are distributed along a network of improved roads and an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to the area's timber and transit history.

Waterways like Goodwin Creek and the wide Perquimans River define the local drainage patterns, flowing toward the Albemarle Sound. Smaller settlements such as Happy Home and Beach Springs appear alongside numerous unmarked Cemeteries, providing valuable data points for those researching family history in Perquimans and Chowan counties. The Norfolk Southern line near Yeopim Station remains a primary infrastructure feature in the southeast corner.
