About this map

Robersonville and the neighboring village of Everetts anchor this eastern North Carolina landscape as it appeared in the late 1970s. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Huskand Swamp, Ross Swamp, and Collie Swamp, which drain south toward Tranter Creek. The Seaboard Coast Line railroad provides a central industrial corridor, passing through the heart of the primary settlements and past landmarks like the Water Tank and Martin Memorial Garden.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of local institutions, from established congregations like Willow Chapel and Rock Hill Ch to educational sites such as Roanoke High Sch and Martin Academy. The map reveals a transition into Pitt County at its southern edge, where the rural community of Congleton sits near the headwaters of Turkey Swamp. Further east, the small settlement of Bear Grass stands at the edge of its namesake swamp, illustrating the close relationship between human habitation and the intricate wetlands of the coastal plain.
