About this map

Scotland Neck sits as the primary hub of this eastern Halifax County landscape, surrounded by a transition from agricultural fields to the intricate wetlands of the Roanoke River valley. The map documents a classic coastal plain settlement pattern where communities like Spring Hill, Tillery, and Hills Crossroads are linked by a network of rural roads such as Mary Chapel Rd and Pittman Town Rd.

Several small family and community burial grounds, including Shield Cem, Mount Gilbert Cem, and Madry Cem, provide significant points of interest for genealogical research in the area. The physical geography is defined by low-lying drainages like Kehukee Swamp, Cypress Swamp, and Looking Glass Run, illustrating the complex water systems that have historically shaped land use and transportation in this portion of North Carolina.
