1902 Map of Vanceboro
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
The Vanceboro Ldg. riverfront and the surrounding lowlands of eastern North Carolina define this early 20th-century landscape. Situated along the winding Swift Creek, the settlement of Vanceboro serves as a central hub in a region characterized by expansive wetlands and timber operations. A network of logging infrastructure is evident through multiple industrial tracks, including the Silas Tramroad and several unnamed tramroads that penetrate deep into the Big Pocoson and Reedy Pocoson. These routes suggest an economy heavily reliant on the extraction of resources from the surrounding swamps.
