1962 Map of Goretown

About this map

Goretown and Grahams Crossroads anchor this coastal plain landscape along the North Carolina South Carolina border during the early 1960s. The terrain is defined by a complex network of wetlands and creeks, including the extensive Juniper Swamp, Wild Cattle Swamp, and Sheepbridge Swamp. This survey reveals a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by the high density of rural churches and family-named cemeteries such as Ironhill Ch, Sweet Gum Ch, and Soles Cem.
