About this map

Saint John and Union serve as primary anchors for this rural Hertford County landscape, where the settlement pattern follows a network of state routes and country roads. The area is defined by a dense hydrologic system, where Cutawhiskie Cr and Ahoskie Cr wind through the coastal plain. Notable landmarks such as Buffalo Island and Old Tree Swamp illustrate the low-lying, water-heavy geography of the region.

Smaller crossroads communities and named locales like Fraziers Crossroads, Poor Town, and Earleys are connected by historical crossings such as Benthalls Bridge and Knights Bridge. The map detail reveals the distribution of residential and agricultural structures along routes like Flea Hill Rd and Lewter Farm Rd, providing a precise record of late-modern rural development in North Carolina's Inner Banks region.
