About this map

The lowlands of Beaufort and Washington Counties are defined by a network of drainage and transport in this late 1970s survey. The small settlement of Hoke serves as a primary point of reference, situated where the Norfolk Southern rail line cuts through the landscape. This area is characterized by its significant wetlands, including the expansive East Dismal Swamp and Cabin Swamp, which dictate the placement of roads and human activity.

Linear development follows the high ground along routes such as Long Ridge Road, where numerous cemeteries and family burial plots are marked alongside the tracks. Local spiritual life is anchored by Christian Hope Ch in the north and Long Acre Chapel toward the east. The presence of Morris Tram Road and Diamond City Road hints at the historical timber and transit corridors that once facilitated movement through these dense, swampy reaches near Welch Cr.
