1944 Map of Lewis Swamp

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Little Green Swamp and Lewis Swamp dominate this 1944 survey of Brunswick County, revealing a landscape defined by expansive wetlands and timber operations in the mid-1940s. Small rural communities and family-named landmarks are scattered throughout the townships of Northwest, Lockwoods Folly, and Town Creek. Evidence of earlier industrial activity persists through the Old Tram Road and numerous bridge crossings such as the Livingston Creek Bridge. Social life in this era centered on local institutions like Christian Hope Church, Shiloh Church, and the Batarora Sch. The mapping of features like Redwater Bay and the Brier Patch indicates a deeply specialized knowledge of the local terrain, where low-lying basins and ridges shaped the path of the Lewis Swamp Road.
