2010 Map of Hertford

About this map

The Perquimans River dominates this coastal North Carolina landscape, widening significantly as it flows past the town of Hertford. This survey captures the region as residential expansion began to shape the traditional waterfront, notably at the Wynne Fork Housing Development and the lakeside community of Southern Shores. The geography is defined by a series of prominent points reaching into the water, including Ferry Point, Barrow Point, and Crow Point Island. Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing landmarks such as Cedarwood Cemetery and Nixon Cemetery, as well as established surrounding settlements like Winfall, Smithtown, and Burgess. The map also illustrates the transition from rural agricultural land to localized aviation use at Dillard Airport and recreational access at Hertford Beach.
