About this map

Merry Hill and the surrounding Bertie County countryside are defined by a network of expansive wetlands and small farming communities. This landscape is characterized by the intricate drainage systems of Cricket Swamp, Eastmost Swamp, and Flat Swamp Creek, which dictate the placement of local roads and historic properties. Small settlements like Ashland and Taylors Store serve as local landmarks, connected by thoroughfares such as Taylors Store Rd and Old Merry Hill Rd.

The presence of Todds Airport provides a modern navigational point amidst traditional agriculture, while family and local history are reflected in thoroughfares like Browns School Rd, Capehart Church Rd, and Ashland Church Rd. Towards the eastern edge of the survey, Salmon Creek and Wading Place Creek meander through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic character of this Coastal Plain region during the early 21st century.
