About this map

The town of Kelford and the neighboring settlement of Roxobel anchor this Bertie County landscape during the late 1990s. The region is defined by its agricultural character and extensive wetlands, notably the Wahtom Swamp and the headwaters of the Cashie River. Evidence of the area's agricultural importance is found at the Peanut Belt Research Station near Lewiston.

Genealogists and local historians can trace community centers such as Beautiful Zion Ch and Luella Ch, alongside several family and community burial grounds like the Hoggard Cem and the Roxobel-Kelford Cem. The mapping shows the layout of local education through the West Bertie Sch and Roxobel-Kelford Sch. A complex network of small waterways, including Ahoskie Creek, Sandy Run, and Mill Br, weave through the low-lying terrain, illustrating the historical reliance on these drainage patterns for local land use and development.
