1981 Map of Edenton

About this map

Edenton sits at the confluence of Edenton Bay and the Albemarle Sound, a landscape shaped by coastal navigation and agricultural heritage. The town's grid is anchored by Queen St and Church St, leading down to the Seawall where colonial-era roots meet the 20th-century waterfront. To the east, the rural character persists around Yeopim and St Johns, where the landscape is bisected by the Norfolk Southern railroad. The map reveals a high density of community landmarks, including Beaver Hill Cem and Vine Oak Cem, which provide significant genealogical reference points. Educational and social infrastructure is evident through the presence of Walker Sch and Holmes High Sch, while the Edenton Municipal Airport near Horniblow Point marks the modernization of the county's transport network during this era.
