2000 Map of Gatesville
USGS Topo · Published 2002About this map
Chowan Swamp State Game Land dominates the southern reaches of this North Carolina landscape, where the Chowan River forms the border between Gates and Hertford counties. The town of Gatesville serves as a focal point near the eastern edge, while the surrounding countryside is defined by a network of crossroads settlements and small country churches. Places such as Riddick Crossroads and Ballard Crossroads highlight the historic importance of overland travel routes through the swampy lowlands. Numerous family and community landmarks are visible, including Ballards Grove Ch and New Hope Ch, alongside several cemeteries designated simply as Cem. The drainage patterns of the coastal plain are clearly illustrated by Cypress Swamp, Licking Branch, and Landing Creek, showing how water dictated the placement of farms and small hamlets like Roduco and Eure.
