About this map

Lake Gaston and Roanoke Rapids Lake dominate the southern portion of this region, where the state line divides Northampton County, North Carolina, from Brunswick County, Virginia. The landscape is defined by the fingers of the reservoir reaching into several drainages, including Black Gut Cr and Jimmies Cr. Small settlements such as Valentines, Gasburg, and Henrico serve as local hubs for the surrounding rural road network.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by features like the Clary Cem in the northwest and Wilkins Hill near the shoreline. The transition from terrestrial to aquatic environments is evident in the numerous bridges and landings, such as Wrights Bridge, which cross smaller tributaries like Rattlesnake Cr and Long Br. This survey illustrates the modern residential development along the shores of the lakes, particularly around Pea Hill Shores and the southern edge of Brunswick County.
