About this map

The Gates County Courthouse serves as the focal point for this section of northeastern North Carolina, situated in the town of Gatesville. The landscape is defined by the expansive wetlands of the coastal plain, with names like Whiteoak Pocosin and Horsepen Pocosin indicating the unique swampy forest terrain characteristic of the region. To the south, the Chowan River forms a natural boundary, fed by numerous small tributaries such as Sarem Creek and Cole Cr.

Smaller rural communities like Eure, Roduco, and Buckland are connected by a network of county roads, with several crossroads settlements such as Riddick Crossroads and Ballard Crossroads marking local intersections. Genealogy and local history are well-represented by numerous family and church burial grounds, including the Greene Family Cem, Umphlett Family Cem, and several missionary and baptist church cemeteries that anchor the community landscape.
