2019 Map of Hertford

About this map

The Perquimans River dominates this coastal North Carolina landscape, serving as the central artery for the historic towns of Hertford and Winfall. These settlements are closely linked by bridges and historical crossings near Ferry Point and Crow Point Island, where the river narrows significantly before broadening toward the Albemarle Sound. The map reveals a mosaic of wetland environments, including Bagley Swamp to the north and Bear Swamp to the southwest, which frame the agricultural and residential corridors along S Edenton Road St and Center Hill Hwy. Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks such as Cedarwood Cem in the heart of Hertford and Nixon Cem further north. Outlying rural communities like Old Neck, Newhope Proper, and Burgess illustrate the dispersed settlement pattern characteristic of the Inner Banks region, where life is inextricably tied to the winding creeks like Sutton Creek and Yeopim Cr.
