1975 Map of Galatia

About this map

Potecasi Creek and its many meandering tributaries define the low-lying landscape of this Northampton County area during the mid-1970s. The map illustrates a rural society organized around small crossroads and family landmarks, with Faisons and Galatia serving as primary local hubs. Numerous small cemeteries and individual gravesites are noted throughout the terrain, a detail of significant value for genealogists tracing family roots in North Carolina's coastal plain.
