1985 Map of Roanoke Rapids
USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
The Roanoke River corridor dominates this mid-1980s landscape, serving as a historic divider and connector between numerous North Carolina counties. Near the northern edge, the expansive Lake Gaston gives way to the industrial and hydro-power centers of Roanoke Rapids, Rosemary, and Weldon. The map reveals a complex drainage network where the river's path is marked by distinctive features like Occoneechee Neck and Mush Island. To the south and east, the terrain shifts into a mosaic of wetlands and watercourses, including the Urahaw Swamp and Potecasi Creek.
