About this map

Lake Gaston and Roanoke Rapids Lake dominate the northern landscape of this region along the border of Northampton and Halifax Counties. The terrain is defined by the divided flow of the Roanoke River, where Clements Island sits between the North Channel and South Channel. This modern topography shows the residential development pattern around the lakes, contrasted with the traditional rural character found further south at Gretna Green and Hinnes Crossroads.

Tracing the drainage of the coastal plain, the map reveals a network of waterways including Bear Swamp, Marsh Swamp, and Quankey Cr. Small interior water bodies like Robinsons Pond and Crawley Pond are scattered throughout the lower half of the quadrangle. Local road networks, such as Oak Grove Church Rd and Jack Brown RD, connect these smaller hamlets to the larger lakeside settlements like Thelma.
