About this map

Railroad Bed Rd anchors the geometry of this eastern North Carolina landscape, tracing a long diagonal through the agricultural flatlands of Beaufort County. The map documents a rural corridor defined by its rail history, where small settlements and loading points like Wenona and Sixth Siding once served the local timber and farming economy. The linear drainage pattern of the terrain is evident, with roads like Swindell Rd and Pike Rd running parallel to a network of canals and ditches that manage the low-lying waters of the region.

Evidence of local commerce and infrastructure appears at Morrisons Store and crossings such as Tareover Bridge and Van Swamp Bridge. The area is bounded by small natural drainages including Dogwood Run and Indian Run, while numerous sidings like Johnson Siding and Sixteen Mile Siding mark the former path of the railway. This survey captures a moment in the 21st century where the functional layout of the land remains tied to its original industrial and agricultural surveying.
