1954 Map of Creeds

About this map

The North Landing River and the Intracoastal Waterway dominate this coastal landscape, serving as a vital corridor for maritime traffic between Virginia and North Carolina in the mid-1950s. The map illustrates a region of low-lying wetlands and intricate drainages, including Blackwater Creek and the Northwest River, which flow toward Tull Bay. Scattered inland settlements like Creeds and Blackwater reflect a rural community organized around crossroads and water access.
