About this map

The Roanoke River winds through this coastal plain landscape, defining a region where dense wetlands like Bull Neck Swamp and Cypress Swamp alternate with rural settlements and agricultural land. The map documents the localized infrastructure of Bertie County, including the Shields Commissary and the Ventosa Plantation Airport, illustrating the continued importance of large-scale landholdings and private air access in the modern era.

Transportation networks are heavily tied to the terrain, with names like Norfleets Ferry Rd and Woods Landing pointing to a history of river-based commerce and travel. Interior features such as Dynamite Lake and Turners Pond provide more specific local landmarks, while smaller settlements like Fox Bark and Norfleet anchor the rural road system, including the path of Shields Farm Rd through the lowlands.
