1950 Map of Lowland

About this map

Goose Creek Island is the centerpiece of this coastal survey, defined by its intricate network of marshes and winding waterways where the Pamlico River meets the sound. Centered around the small settlement of Lowland, the landscape is a low-lying expanse of wetlands and small agricultural clearings. Local life at mid-century was oriented toward the water, evidenced by the presence of Caraway Landing and the descriptive Mail Boat Landing. The interior of the island contains a cluster of community landmarks, including Antioch Ch, Shiloh Ch, and cemeteries like Watson Cem and Warden Grove Cem.
