1951 Map of Hackney

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The coastal lowlands of Beaufort County are defined here by a dense network of swamp runs and drainage canals near the Pamlico River. Land use in the early 1950s is distinctly divided between the agricultural clearings surrounding the Hackney and Rover settlements and the expansive, undeveloped reaches of the Reedy Pocosin and Blount Pocosin. The influence of water on the local economy is evident in the complex system of agricultural engineering, including the Gum Run Canal, Lot Canal, and Dividing Canal, which suggest a concerted effort to manage the saturated terrain for farming.
