1943 Map of Exum

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Green Swamp dominates this coastal North Carolina landscape, characterized by an extensive network of wetlands and namesake bays. The tiny settlement of Exum sits at the intersection of local roads, supported by spiritual centers such as New Life Ch and Union Ch. To the east, the rural community of Makatoka borders the vast Alligator Swamp. The terrain is marked by family-named sites and landmarks like Ludlum Pasture and Horse Pen Ridge, indicating a history of localized livestock and land use. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of the Milligan Cem and Griffin Cem. An Old RR Grade cutting through the northern portion of the swamp reflects the era's timber extraction or early transportation routes, while features like Shingletree Bay and Good Luck Bay illustrate the distinct Carolina Bay geography of the region.
