1964 Map of Selma

Outside the urban centers, the map documents an extensive network of family-named cemeteries and rural institutions, such as Sunset Memorial Park and St Johns Ch. The presence of Prison Unit 4043 and multiple Gravel Pits along the riverbanks suggests a landscape shaped by both institutional land use and resource extraction. Smaller settlements like Wilsons Mills and Pine Level are clearly delineated, offering researchers a look at rural communities before modern suburban expansion transformed the corridor between Raleigh and Goldsboro.
