About this map

The Great Dismal Swamp dominates the northeastern landscape of this map, illustrating the heavy influence of wetlands on the settlement patterns of Perquimans County. Small communities and family landmarks are clustered along the margins of the swamp and the banks of the Perquimans River and Little River. Transportation history is clearly visible through the presence of the Norfolk Southern line passing through Chapanoke and the distinct path of an Old Railroad Grade further north. This 1982 edition, based on earlier surveys, serves as a record of rural life in the Albemarle region, documenting established spiritual and community centers like Up River Ch and Oak Grove Ch. The map provides specific locations for several unmarked burial sites, simply labeled Cem, alongside named plots such as the Up River Cem near the town of Nicanor.
