1962 Map of Norfleet

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Roanoke River snakes across this coastal plain landscape, defining the borders where Halifax, Northampton, and Bertie counties meet. In the early 1960s, the area remained a dense network of wetlands and small agricultural settlements, with Cypress Swamp and Quinine Swamp filling the low-lying reaches between the river and the higher ground of Rich Square and Roxobel. The map preserves the location of numerous family-named landmarks and local institutions, including Sandy Run Ch and William Chapel, alongside family burial grounds such as Bell Cem and Hall Cem. Two major rail corridors, the Seaboard Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line, cut through the terrain, intersecting near the small community of Norfleet. These tracks, coupled with landings like Fox Bank, illustrate a landscape still deeply tied to riverine and rail-based transport for its timber and agricultural output.
