About this map

The North River and its intricate network of wetlands, including the Great Swamp and Black Swamp, define this coastal landscape on the Albemarle-Pamlico peninsula. These low-lying reaches are marked by distinct landforms like Thoroughfare Island and Garlingtons Island, which sit amidst the tidal creeks and marshes. The settlement pattern is largely linear, following higher ground along roads like N River Rd, where the historic community of Indiantown is situated.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family burial grounds and churchyards throughout this territory. Clusters of interment sites, such as the Spellman Family Cem, Squires and Eason Cem, and Riggs Children Cem, are found near the small hubs of Shiloh, Bartlett, and Riddle. The southern edge of the map features the Pasquotank River and the Intracoastal Waterway, signifying the area's importance to regional maritime transit. Modern landmarks like the Shiloh Baptist Church Cem and Philadelphia Baptist Church Cem serve as focal points for these long-established North Carolina communities.
