The Seaboard Coast Line railroad cuts a sharp diagonal through this landscape, anchoring the rural communities of Middleburg and Manson during a period of transition in Vance and Warren counties. To the west, the expansive John H Kerr Reservoir has reshaped the terrain, creating numerous inlets along Anderson Creek and Mill Creek. This 1970 snapshot records the early development of Soul City, a planned community founded with the aim of providing economic opportunities for Black families in the rural South.
