1981 Map of Robersonsville West

About this map

The Seaboard Coast Line railroad serves as the industrial spine of this landscape, connecting the junction town of Parmele with nearby Robersonville and Bethel. This 1981 survey illustrates the rural character of the eastern North Carolina coastal plain, where extensive wetland systems like Flat Swamp, Briery Swamp, and Tranters Creek dictate the layout of timberland and agriculture. Numerous small cemeteries are scattered across the territory, documenting the deep-rooted family history of the surrounding countryside. Cultural and community landmarks are clearly marked, including First Swamp Ch and Hickory Grove Ch, along with essential town services such as the Hospital and Athletic Field in Robersonville. The presence of a Drive-in Theater and a Golf Course reflects the mid-century recreational infrastructure of the region during a period of steady growth.
