About this map

The Great Dismal Swamp dominates the western half of this North Carolina survey, transitioning into the developed landscape of Elizabeth City and the Pasquotank River basin. This transition reflects the 1980s landscape where industrial and agricultural infrastructure, such as the Filtration Plant and various Radio Tower sites, operated alongside historic community centers. Local life centers on numerous small congregations and landmarks, including Berea Ch, Samuel Chapel, and the Drive-in Theater near the Albemarle Academy.

Transportation patterns are defined by the convergence of the Southern and Norfolk Southern railroad lines, which navigate the low-lying terrain near Knobbs Creek. Evidence of earlier infrastructure persists in the Old Railroad Grade north of Okisko. The map provides a detailed view of the rural settlements of Pasquotank and the residential corridors that characterize the county seat's outskirts during this era.
