1981 Map of Sunbury
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
Sunbury stands as the primary hub of this Gates County landscape, situated at the intersection of rural routes and surrounded by the low-lying wetlands of the coastal plain. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the vast, wooded expanse of the Great Dismal Swamp, a defining environmental feature of the region. Local industry and historic transport are evidenced by the Acorn Hill Millpond and an Old Railroad Grade that cuts through the terrain near Kellogs Fork. Smaller agrarian settlements like Wardville, Acorn Hill, and Hoflers Fork are scattered throughout, often anchored by community landmarks such as Oak Grove Ch and St Johns Zion Ch. Genealogists will find numerous unnamed Cem and Graves sites distributed across family lands, particularly along the winding courses of Folly Swamp and Raynor Swamp.
