About this map

The Roanoke River system forms the central nervous system of this Mecklenburg County landscape, just before the construction of major dams permanently altered the river valley. The confluence of the Dan River and Staunton River creates a complex network of islands and bottomlands, dominated by the massive Occaneechi Island and nearby Lewis Island. This era captures a rural economy deeply tied to the Southern Railway, which links crossroads settlements like Buffalo Junc, Nelson, and Soudan.
