1906 Map of Hertford

About this map

The Perquimans River and Little River dominate this early twentieth-century survey of the North Carolina tidewater, revealing a landscape deeply tied to the waters of the Albemarle Sound. The town of Hertford sits as the central hub, where the Norfolk and Southern railroad crosses the river near Ferry Pt. This era is marked by a network of water-based transit points like Redbank Ldg and Newby Landing, essential for the movement of goods and people across the necks of land including Old Neck and Durant Neck.
