1972 Map of Parkton

About this map

Parkton and Lumber Bridge serve as the primary hubs in this agricultural and swamp-interspersed landscape of North Carolina during the early 1970s. The region is defined by a dense network of water systems, including Little Marsh Swamp and Rockfish Creek, which influenced the placement of early settlements and rail lines. The Seaboard Coast Line and the Aberdeen and Rockfish railroads provide the industrial backbone of the area, connecting small rural outposts like McNatts Sta to larger markets.
