2010 Map of Thelma

About this map

Thelma and Gretna Green anchor this rural landscape in Halifax County, where the topography is defined by the expansive Roanoke Rapids Lake along the northern boundary. The map illustrates a region of transition where small crossroads settlements like Hinnes Crossroads and Summit are linked by a network of secondary roads such as Thelma Road and Wright Road. The abundance of water features, including Quankey Creek, Bear Swamp, and Marsh Swamp, suggests a history of timber and agricultural management, further evidenced by the Liles Lookout Tower standing watch over the wooded terrain.
