About this map

Pinetown serves as a central hub in this mid-century coastal plain survey, situated where the Norfolk Southern railroad crosses the dark waters of Acre Swamp. The landscape is defined by the expansive Pungo Swamp and Bath creek systems, reflecting a rural economy tied to timber and tide. Small rural communities like Terra Ceia and Gaylord are connected by a network of bridges and crossings, including Acre Bridge and Hunters Bridge.

Genealogists and local historians can find numerous community landmarks, from Oden Mill to the Rodmans Quarter Sch. The spiritual life of the region is mapped through several country churches, including Shiloh Ch, Acre Ch, and Everett Ch. Near the southern edge, the terrain transitions toward the coast at Leeward Seine Beach and Boyd Point, while the Everett Lookout Tower stands as a sentinel over the low-lying woodlands of Long Acre.
