USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
Hertford and its surrounding coastal necks dominate this landscape at the confluence of the Perquimans River and the Albemarle Sound. Published by the War Department, this survey documents a rural water-bound economy shortly before World War II, where life was organized around the intricate shoreline of Harveys Neck and Durants Neck. Navigation was central to the region's identity, evidenced by prominent sites like White Hat Landing and Newby Landing.
