About this map

The Roanoke River dominates this landscape, winding through a complex of low-lying wetlands and islands along the border of Bertie and Martin Counties. The map reveals a river-centered economy and culture, evidenced by several historic river access points like Coniott Landing and Quitsna Landing. To the north, the small settlement of Quitsna serves as a hub, surrounded by a network of rural roads such as 1112 and 1108.

Genealogists will find value in the scattered rural churches that anchor these communities, including Indian Woods Ch, St Francis Ch, and Siloam Ch. The terrain is characterized by the vast Roquist Pocosin and numerous winding tributaries like Choowatic Creek and Conoho Creek. Large tracts of protected territory, including the Roanoke River National Wildlife Refuge, preserve the intricate water-and-forest environment that has shaped this region for generations.
