1955 Map of Elizabethtown
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
The Cape Fear River winds through this mid-century landscape, serving as the central axis for the town of Elizabethtown. The map illustrates a region defined by its unique "Carolina Bay" geography, with numerous elliptical depressions such as White Lake, Salters Lake, and Jones Lake appearing as distinct features in the Turnbull State Forest. This period shows the transition of the local economy from river-based transit, evidenced by a Barge Landing, to a rail-and-road network dominated by the Virginia and Carolina Southern and the Seaboard Air Line railroads.
