1950 Map of Pollocksville

About this map

The Trent River dominates this mid-century survey of coastal North Carolina, winding through a landscape of creek-fed bottomlands and dense woodlands within the Croatan National Forest. The town of Pollocksville serves as the primary hub, situated near where the Seaboard Coast Line railroad crosses the river. The map reveals an economy and community still closely tied to the water, as evidenced by a string of riverside landmarks including Bells Landing, Scott Landing, Debruhls Landing, and Tar Landing.
