About this map

Murfreesboro serves as the focal point of this survey, where the street grid of the historic college town transitions into the agricultural landscape of Hertford County. The campus of Chowan University occupies a significant portion of the town's southern edge, while the Riverside Cem overlooks the bends of the Meherrin River to the north. The surrounding area is defined by a complex network of wetlands and drainage systems, including the Kirby Mill Swamp and Old Tree Swamp, which feed into the Potecasi Creek basin.

Rural crossroads such as Mapleton and Barretts Crossroads connect the outlying farmsteads via a lattice of named routes like Vaughan Creek Rd and Will Stephenson Rd. The map also captures smaller industrial and geographical landmarks like the Worrell Millpond, reflecting the long-standing relationship between local settlements and the water bodies that shaped their development and economy since the colonial era.
