1943 Map of Edenton
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
Edenton serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, situated where Queen Anne Creek and Little Creek meet Edenton Bay. The landscape is defined by the expansive waters of the Chowan River and Albemarle Sound, which historically dictated the economy and transit of the region. Evidence of this maritime reliance is clear in the numerous landings and wharves lining the riverbanks, including Hermitage Wharf and Emperor Landing. In the southeastern corner, the development of the U S Marine Corps Air Station reflects the military mobilization of the early 1940s.
