About this map

Goshen Swamp and its numerous tributaries, including Youngs Swamp and Railer Branch, dominate this agricultural landscape in eastern North Carolina. The map documents the persistent rural settlement pattern of small communities like Dobbersville, Suttontown, and Giddensville interconnected by an extensive network of family-named roads. These thoroughfares, such as Odom Mill Rd, Harvey Lewis Rd, and Ermit Warren Rd, reflect generations of land ownership and local commerce.

A notable geographic feature is the Bear Pocosin in the southern portion of the quadrangle, representing the unique wetland ecosystems characteristic of the Atlantic coastal plain. Further north, the Thoroughfare Swamp carves through the terrain, while landmarks like Skeeter Point identify specific locales within the sprawling drainage basins. This 2010 survey provides a detailed look at the interface between traditional swamp-bottom landscapes and the established road-and-farm economy of the region.
