1997 Map of Sunbury
USGS Topo · Published 2000About this map
The western margin of the Great Dismal Swamp dominates this Gates County landscape, where the flat, water-heavy terrain of northeastern North Carolina dictated centuries of settlement patterns. Small communities like Sunbury and Acorn Hill occupy the slightly elevated grounds bordering the swamp, connected by roads that skirt the wetlands. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade running north-south through the center of the sheet speaks to a bygone era of timber extraction or freight transit that once moved through these woods.
