About this map

The Cashie River and its network of blackwater tributaries define this pocket of Bertie County, where agricultural fields are carved out of extensive wetlands. Central to the landscape is the Roquist Pocosin, a distinctive coastal plain wetland ecosystem that feeds Roquist Cr and Coniott Cr. Small rural settlements like Republican and Drew serve as anchor points for a network of roads that reflect generations of land ownership and local education, such as Parkers School Rd and School Rd.

The infrastructure follows the higher ground between the swampy basins of Whiteoak Swamp and Conniritsa Swamp. Long-established family names appear throughout the local road system, including Charles Taylor Rd, Bazemore Park Rd, and Spruill Farm Rd. This document provides a clear look at the modern rural interface between traditional North Carolina farming and the preservation of its native pocosin and riverine environments.
