1903 Map of Tarboro
USGS Topo · Published 1935About this map
Tarboro and Princeville anchor this early 20th-century landscape, positioned at a critical transition point where the Tar River supported a defined Steamboat Route. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of the coastal plain, with small hamlets like Wrendale, Pinetops, and Runnymede linked by a developing rail network that includes the Atlantic Coast Line and the Norfolk & Carolina R. R. The importance of water management and local milling is evident in the naming of features such as the Cromwell Canal, Sasnett Mill Swamp, and Bynums Mill Creek.
