2016 Map of Gasburg

About this map

Lake Gaston dominates the southern portion of this landscape, its intricate shoreline forming numerous coves and points along the border of Brunswick County, Virginia, and Warren and Northampton Counties in North Carolina. The map captures a modern view of this reservoir-centered community, where residential development and recreational infrastructure like Club Dr and Creekside Shores Rd line the water's edge. North of the lake, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural land and small settlements connected by a web of local roads such as Gasburg Rd and Emporia Rd. For genealogists and local historians, the area is punctuated by several family and community burial sites, including Kirkland Cem, Pleasant Hill Cem, and Powell Cem. These sites, along with established communities like Gasburg and Ebony, reflect the deep-rooted local history that persists alongside the more recent developments surrounding the lake.
