1997 Map of Palmyra

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

The Roanoke River dominates this landscape on the boundary of Halifax, Bertie, and Martin Counties, carving a wide, meandering path through dense wetland systems. This environment is characterized by intricate water features like the Big Swash, Matthew Slough, and Blue Hole Swamp, which separate the agricultural uplands from the river's edge. The settlement of Palmyra serves as a local hub, supported by the Palmyra Station and the historic river crossing at Hills Ferry. Genealogy researchers will find a significant concentration of family and community landmarks, including numerous small burial grounds such as Hyman Cem, Griffin Cem, and Charleston Cem. Several rural congregations, notably James Mt Pilgrim Ch and Kehukee Ch, are situated throughout the quadrangle, reflecting the social fabric of these tobacco and cotton farming communities in the late twentieth century.
