1982 Map of Nixonton

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Little River and Perquimans River define the intricate, water-locked landscape of this coastal North Carolina region. Small farming communities and crossroads such as Nixonton, Woodville, and New Hope anchor the inland reaches, connected by a network of rural roads including Highway 17. The map illustrates a high density of local institutions that are vital for family history research, particularly country churches like Woodland Ch and Galatia Ch, alongside several family-named burial sites including Wilson Cem and Godfrey Cem. The peninsula of Durants Neck extends into the river system, highlighting the area's historical reliance on maritime access at points like Redbank Landing and the Boat Ramp. The presence of the Whitehurst Airstrip and scattered landmarks like Rabbit Corner reflect the mid-20th-century transition of this tidewater agricultural district.
