1954 Map of Creswell SE

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Scuppernong River snakes through the low-lying terrain of this coastal North Carolina landscape, defining the boundary between Washington and Tyrrell counties. This 1954 survey, with updates from the 1970s, reveals a rural region heavily influenced by drainage and land reclamation, evidenced by the prominent Old Canal and the strictly linear paths of Thirty-Foot and Bee Tree roads. Scattered congregations anchor the small communities here, including Holly Grove Ch, Cross Landing Ch, and Woodleys Chapel in the west, while Cabin Swamp Ch serves the eastern reaches near New Lands. The presence of Ballast Bank near the river suggests a history of maritime navigation and early trade. The map illustrates a transitional period for areas like Gum Neck and South Fork, where traditional swampy terrain meets modern agricultural drainage efforts.
