USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
North Carolina Wesleyan College stands out as a prominent landmark in the southern reaches of this landscape, just west of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. This 1963 field-checked survey reveals a rural society structured around family cemeteries and small community centers like Drake, Gold Rock, and Dortches. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Swift Creek and its many tributaries, including Compass Creek and Beech Run, which carve through the townships of North Whitakers and South Whitakers.
