1962 Map of Hobgood

About this map

The town of Hobgood serves as a central hub on this 1962 survey, situated at the junction of two branches of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. The surrounding landscape in this part of Halifax and Edgecombe counties is characterized by extensive wetlands, most notably the wide drainage of Deep Creek and the meandering course of Marsh Swamp. These lowlands alternate with slightly elevated agricultural areas like Roseneath and Palmyra, where a dense network of family-named landmarks and rural institutions defines the social geography.
