1968 Map of Machodoc

About this map

The deep estuaries of Lower Machodoc Creek and Nomini Creek dominate this 1960s landscape, reflecting a shoreline economy built on water access and tobacco-era landings. Historic points of commerce like Mc Guires Wharf and Beales Wharf are mapped along the winding banks of Nomini Creek, while the inland road network connects long-established crossroads such as Nomini Grove and Hinnom. The map captures a transition toward modern rural life, where local churches like St James Ch and Ebenezer Ch served as the primary anchors for dispersed farming communities.
