1950 Map of Edward

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The coastal plain of Beaufort County and Craven County is defined by the slow-moving waters of Blounts Creek and Durham Creek, which carve through a landscape of low-lying wetlands and timbered tracts. The area around Edward serves as a focal point for the Norfolk Southern railroad, illustrating the importance of rail transit for moving resources through this corner of North Carolina. Small rural clusters and post offices, such as Blounts Creek (PO) and Coxs Crossroads, reveal a pattern of settlement tied closely to the intersection of early farm roads and drainage basins.
