About this map

Plymouth and the surrounding coastal plains of the Albemarle Sound region are depicted here as they were during the mid-1940s. The landscape is defined by its extensive water systems and drainage networks, with the Roanoke River and Cashie River feeding into the sound. A complex system of human-engineered waterways, including Canal A, Canal B, and the Pungo Canal, cut through the Dismal Swamp and Van Swamp to manage the low-lying terrain for agriculture and settlement.
