1950 Map of Edward

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Blounts Creek and the surrounding coastal plain of Beaufort and Craven Counties are captured here as they appeared mid-century, defined by a landscape of vast swampy lowlands and small agricultural settlements. The Norfolk Southern railroad provides the primary industrial spine of the region, cutting southeast through Richland and connecting the village of Edward to the wider trade network. Numerous small congregations dot the rural intersections, including Warren Chapel and Smyrna Ch near the northern creeks, suggesting a deeply rooted community structure focused around local churches.
