2010 Map of Hoke

About this map

Agricultural and swamp lands dominate this portion of Washington County, where the settlement of Hoke serves as a central point for a network of rural roads. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including the northern flow of Welch Creek and the southern reaches of Acre Swamp. Man-made alterations to the wetlands are evident in the presence of the No 2 Canal and Windley Canal Rd, reflecting long-standing efforts to manage the coastal plain's high water table for timber and farming. A unique glimpse into local history is found in the naming of thoroughfares such as Morris Tram Rd, likely a relic of former logging tramways, and the small community of Beachgrove. Roads like Diamond City Rd and Cabin Swamp Rd weave through the characteristic low-lying terrain, connecting isolated family lands and small crossroads.
