1914 Map of Kinston
USGS Topo · Published 1914About this map
Kinston serves as the industrial and transport hub of this 1914 landscape, situated where the Atlantic and North Carolina RR and Norfolk Southern RR converge near the Neuse River. The surrounding terrain is a network of tobacco and cotton lands, marked by significant pocosin wetlands like Bear Garden Pocoson and Rices Pocoson. The map meticulously records the rural social fabric of eastern North Carolina, from the State School for Feeble Minded west of the city to remote crossroads like Mewborns Crossroads and Glenfield Crossroads. Numerous small country institutions, such as Saints Delight Church, Jerusalem Church, and Harris Chapel School, provide a detailed view of family-centered landmarks that defined local life before the era of modern school consolidation and highway expansion.
