1997 Map of Hackney

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

Chocowinity Bay and the Pamlico River define the northeastern reaches of this landscape, where the land gives way to an intricate system of swampy runs and Pocosins. The topography is dominated by the Blount Pocosin, a low-lying wetland area drained by a series of engineered watercourses including Piney Canal, Dividing Canal, and Sheppard Run Canal. These drainage features, along with settlements like Hackney and Rover, reflect the historical efforts to manage the moist lowlands for agricultural or industrial utility. Along the high ground between these drainages, community life is marked by numerous country churches, including Haw Branch Ch and Providence Ch. This 1997 photoinspection, based on topography compiled decades earlier, reveals a rural network of branches and creeks, such as Chocowinity Creek and Rice Creek, that have historically shaped the settlement patterns of this coastal plain region.
