1969 Map of Reelsboro

About this map

Upper Broad Creek winds through a dense network of coastal wetlands, defining the boundary between Craven and Pamlico Counties during the late 1960s. The settlement at Reelsboro serves as a local hub along the Norfolk Southern line, surrounded by rural communities like Olympia and New Hope. The landscape is characterized by a complex system of named swamps, including Possum Swamp, Mill Swamp, and Pine Tree Swamp, which dictated the layout of early timber trails and transport routes like the Stair Ridge Road. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community landmarks, such as Sand Hill Cem and Spring Hope Ch, which remain anchored to the higher ground of the coastal plain. The presence of Blades Trail and the industrial infrastructure of the railroad reflect a region defined by its timber resources and rail-to-river connectivity.
