About this map

Nicanor and Parkville anchor a landscape defined by the winding course of the Little River and the expansive southern reaches of the Great Dismal Swamp. This survey of northeastern North Carolina reveals a distinct network of local corridors like Turnpike Rd and Chapanoke Rd connecting small agricultural settlements across the Pasquotank and Perquimans county line.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Up River Cem near Nicanor, while the presence of Craft Airport in the south illustrates modern land use alongside traditional water-dependent drainage features like Indian Cr and Mill Cr. The map's detail provides a clear look at how the region's flat, swamp-adjacent terrain dictates the placement of long, straight rural routes such as Old Dominion Rd and Four Mile Desert Rd.
