1962 Map of Hobgood

About this map

The Atlantic Coast Line railroad anchors the local economy of this Eastern North Carolina landscape, connecting the town of Hobgood and the southern edge of Scotland Neck. The terrain is defined by the broad, marshy corridor of Deep Creek and Marsh Swamp, which divide agricultural fields from wooded lowlands. Numerous family cemeteries and community churches, such as Kehukee Ch and Pleasant Hill Ch, are scattered across the rural landscape, offering significant detail for genealogists tracing regional lineages. Small community centers like Roseneath and Lawrence serve as local landmarks alongside crossroads such as Mullins Crossroads. The inclusion of specific family plots like the Leggett House Cem and educational sites like Shield Sch provides a granular view of the settlement patterns in Halifax and Edgecombe counties during the early 1960s.
