1981 Map of Edenton

About this map

The colonial port city of Edenton stands at the head of Edenton Bay, where the confluence of Pembroke Cr and Queen Anne Creek meets the northern reaches of the Albemarle Sound. This 1980s-era map reveals the town's expansion along the waterfront and inland towards the Edenton Municipal Airport. The landscape is a mix of dense municipal planning and rural reaches, with the Norfolk Southern railroad cutting across the northern territory toward Yeopim. Significant local landmarks like Walker Sch and Holmes High Sch anchor the residential sections, while the shoreline is marked by the Seawall and residential developments like Cape Colony. The inclusion of numerous historical sites, such as Vine Oak Cem and St Luke Ch, provides a clear view of the community's established footprint during a period of modern infrastructure growth, including the Filtration Plant Water Tank and Sewage Disposal systems.
