2019 Map of Hoke

About this map

Van Swamp and the East Dismal Swamp dominate this low-lying region of North Carolina, where the borders of Martin, Beaufort, and Washington Counties converge. The landscape is defined by its extensive wetlands and the drainage systems required to manage them, such as Acre Swamp and the No 2 Canal. The settlement of Hoke serves as a central point in this rural expanse, connected by a network of timber and farm roads named for local families and small communities. Researchers will find numerous private lanes like Latham Ln and Midgette Ln, alongside primary connectors like Long Ridge Rd. The presence of labels like Ange Town Rd and Baynor Town Ln hints at the genealogy of the area, marking where small family enclaves or defunct post offices once centered their activity amidst the surrounding marshlands.
