1953 Map of Columbia East

About this map

Albemarle Sound defines the northern coastline of this survey, where the small community of Soundside and the Dewey Pier mark the interface between the land and the vast coastal waters. Inland, the town of Columbia serves as the regional anchor, surrounded by a landscape of drainage canals and agricultural plots that intersect the wetlands of Big Savanna and Cranberry Island. The map records a rural network of small settlements and faith centers, including Newfoundland, Pleasant View, and Malachi Chapel.
